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 148 and 216

mm(5.8 and 8.5 inches) wide and between 150 and 600 mm (5.9 and 23.6 inches) long. There is generally a gap of 4 mm adjacent to each vertical and horizontal edge of the original page to be transmitted, where no image can be scanned. Please therefore ensure that no image data are present within these 4 mm “dead zones”.

The maximum width of the scanned area is 208 mm (8.2 inches).

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 feeding in crooked, adjust the paper guides to fit the width of the document.

Starting with the Brother Fax-1020Plus, this model is prized for its compact design and ease of use. It features a 14.4 Kbps modem, enabling relatively fast fax transmission and reception, ensuring that important documents can be sent and received quickly. The FAX-1020Plus is equipped with a 40-page automatic document feeder (ADF), allowing users to send larger documents with ease. Additionally, it offers a built-in phone line compatibility, enabling it to function as a regular telephone in addition to its fax capabilities.

The network connectivity options are limited on the Fax-1020Plus, as it primarily connects via a standard telephone line, which is typical for traditional fax machines. An added benefit is its ability to store up to 200 pages in memory, ensuring that users can send and receive faxes even when the machine is busy or out of paper.

Meanwhile, the Brother Fax-1030Plus builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, offering enhanced features to improve functionality. This model also features a 14.4 Kbps modem but includes the added benefit of a 50-page ADF, allowing for the handling of larger documents more efficiently.
