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.

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.

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.
