SENDING FAXES - CHAPTER 6

The Auto Document Feeder (ADF)

The Auto Document Feeder (ADF) automatically feeds documents (up to 20 pages) into the fax machine, one at a time. The thickness and weight of the documents should fall into the following categories:

Thickness:

For one sheet: 0.07 to 0.12 mm (2.8 x 10-3to 4.7 x 10-3inches).

 

For multiple sheets: 0.07 to 0.10 mm (2.8 x 10-3to 3.9 x 10-3inches).

Weight:

For one sheet: 52 to 85 g/m2 (0.07 x 10-3to 0.121 x 10-3lbs/inch2).

 

For multiple sheets: 52 to 80 g/m2 (0.07 x 10-3to 0.114 x 10-3lbs/inch2).

Before inserting documents into the document feeder, fan the sheets of paper to make sure the documents are not stuck together. Then tap the leading edge on a table so that all the pages are even when placed in the feeder. Make sure you always put the documents in face down.
