Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
The device included in the machine that feeds the document being faxed, copied, or scanned into the
machine.
Automatic image reduction
The machine can print the date, time, company name, and a fax number at the top of the faxes it receives. To
prevent this information from crowding the faxed image on the page and possibly lengthening the fax, the
machine automatically reduces the size of the image on the page.
Automatic redialing
When the receiving fax machine is busy or does not answer, or when an error occurs while sending, the
machine waits a specified time and then automatically redials the number. If the receiving fax is still busy or
does not answer, the machine waits the specified time and dials again. If the fax still does not go through, the
machine prints an error TX report.
