Sending Faxes

Before you begin:

■Documents must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide, and 5.9 and 23.7 inches long. Your FAX/MFC can only scan an image 8.2 inches wide, regardless of how wide the paper is.

■Make sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.

■Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.

Paper guides

■The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding each one individually through the FAX/MFC. Use standard (20 lb.) paper when using the ADF; if you’re using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper jams.
