Sending a fax
Sending a fax is very simple if you follow the instructions starting from here. They will describe how to load the
document, set the resolution/contrast and dial the number.
Loading documents
1
Load your document(s) top down in the document tray with the printed side facing away from you.
• Be sure that your document is dry and free of staples, paper clips, and other foreign objects.
• For more information on what kind of paper you can use for documents, see "Acceptable documents" on page 3.2.
2
Adjust the document guides to match the width of the docu-
ment, and load document consisting of up to 10 sheets until the
Automatic Document Feeder seizes and pulls it in. The display
will indicate
Document Ready
when it senses that a document has
been loaded.
• If you are sending more than one sheet, make sure the bottom sheet
enters first. Insert the sheets with a slight push to ensure smooth feed-
ing.
• If you’re loading pages that are unusually thick or thin, feed one sheet at a time. If the document doesn’t feed cor-
rectly, open the Control Panel, remove the document, and try loading it again.

Choose the proper resolution and contrast by pressing
Rcv.Mode/Darkness
