Sending faxes
Tips for sending faxes
• Make sure the printer is on and connected to a working telephone, DSL, or VoIP line. The line is working
if you hear a dial tone.
• Make sure the paper exit tray is fully extended and the tray extension is flipped out.
• Depending on your printer model, use the ADF when scanning two‑sided (duplex) pages.
• To easily retrieve a document after copying or scanning, lift the ADF input tray.
• When using the ADF, adjust the paper guide on the ADF to the width of the original document.
• When using the scanner glass, close the scanner cover, if possible, to avoid dark edges on the scanned
image.
• Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as
magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
• When the document to be faxed is in place with the settings you want, press to send the fax.
