6. SENDING FAXES
A) DOCUMENT BASICS
The Size of Your Documents
The size of the documents you want to send by fax should not be larger (or smaller) than your fax
machine can accommodate. The documents should each be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches (148 and
216 mm) wide and between 3.9 and 35.4 inches (100 and 900 mm) long.
The maximum width of the scanned area, that can be printed on the recording paper of the
recipients fax, is 8.2 inches (208 mm).
How to Insert the Document
To send a fax, first insert the document you wish to send, face down, in the
document feeder. The top edge of the document should go in first, or the fax will
be received upside down.
To prevent the document from going crooked as it is fed, adjust the paper guides
to fit the width of the document.
