Documents must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide, and 3.9 and 14.1 inches long. Your machine can scan an image only 8.15 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.

The MFC 8300 and MFC 8600’s ADF (automatic document feeder) can hold up to 30 pages, feeding each one individually through the machine. Use standard (17 lb–24 lb) paper when using the ADF. If you’re using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper jams.

The FAX 4750, FAX 5750 and MFC 8700’s ADF can hold up to 50 pages if you stagger the pages and meet the following conditions:

Temperature:

68°F – 86°F (20°C – 30°C)

Humidity:

50% – 70%

Paper:

Xerox 4200 (20LB/LTR),

Fan the paper, then stagger the pages in the document feeder as shown below:

DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded or ripped paper, or paper with staples, paper clips, paste or tape attached. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric.

Make sure documents written in ink are completely dry.

Press Resolution (before you send the fax) to select the resolution for the document you’re sending. (See Resolution, page 6-8.)
