Faxing

Note

When you scan originals using the Auto Document Feeder (ADF), set originals in a stack.

When sending a fax, the image that is output at the other end depends on the size and orientation of pa-

per used in the receiver's terminal.

 

If the receiver does not use paper

 

of the same size and orientation as

 

that of the original, the fax image

 

may be reduced in size, trimmed at

both edges, or divided across two or more sheets. When sending an important original, ask the receiver about the size and orientation of the paper used in their terminal.

When sending an original of irreg- ular (i.e. custom) size or part of a large original, you can specify the scan area precisely. See p.15 “Set- ting a Scan Area”.

Custom size documents are scanned as regular size documents, so the receiver may find extra blank mar- gins or edges of images missing. If you specify a scan area, only that area will be scanned regardless of actual document size.

To send an original longer than 420mm (17"), specify the area to be scanned under “Scan Size” and se- lect Long Document mode with the User Parameters before scan- ning the original using the ADF. If a jam occurs, the document might be damaged because scanning will not stop in this mode. See p.15 “Setting a Scan Area”. See p.166 “User Parameters”, Facsimile Refer- ence <Advanced Features> (switch 14, bit 1).

Documents longer than 800mm (32") must be sent by memory transmission (immediate transmis- sion may not be possible).

If an original jam, press the {Clear/Stop}key, and then carefully remove the original.

Make sure that all ink, correcting fluid etc., has completely dried be- fore placing your original. If it is still wet, the exposure glass will be marked and those marks will ap- pear on the received image.

If you place an A4 size original in the portrait orientation, the ma- chine rotates the image by 90 de- grees before sending. See p.79 “Transmission with Image Rota- tion”, Facsimile Reference <Ad- vanced Features> .

You can send the first page from the exposure glass then the re- maining pages from the ADF. You cannot change from the ADF to the exposure glass. When transmitting from memory, see p.21 “Sending originals using the exposure glass”. When sending immediate- ly, see p.27 “Sending originals us- ing the exposure glass”.

When using the Internet Fax func- tion, documents are sent at A4 width. Documents larger than A4 are reduced to A4 width. If the re- ceiver's terminal is compliant with the T.37 full mode, documents are sent at the width specified in the Address Book. See p.55 “T.37 Full Mode”.

When setting bound originals (books, magazines, etc.), you can select to have either the left page or right page sent first with the User Parameters. See p.61 “Book Fax”, Facsimile Reference <Advanced Fea- tures> . See p.166 “User Parame- ters”, Facsimile Reference <Advanced Features> (switch 06, bit 6).
