The ADF is a device which feeds the pages of a multi-page document (for faxing or copying purposes) one at a time, in the order that you arranged the pages in the stack.
Allows you to copy documents without lifting the platen cover. Instead of placing each sheet individually on the glass, you simply load a stack of originals into the feeder, press start, and let the copier move each sheet on and off the platen.
An automatic document feeder feeds paper into the digital duplicator, automatically rising to meet the feed slot as the stack of paper diminishes. Digital duplicators come with an automatic document feeder, but some companies need an ADF that holds higher volumes of paper.
