Note

  • Originals that are clipped or creased cannot be scanned using the ADF. For details about originals that are not recommended for the ADF, see “Originals”, Copy Reference.

  • To scan multiple originals using the ADF, set originals in a stack.

  • When sending a fax, the image output at the other end depends on the size and orientation of paper used in the receiver's machine. 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 in their machine.

  • To send an original longer than 356 mm (14 inches), select Long Document mode with the User Parameters (switch 14, bit 1) in the Fax Features menu. See “Parameter Settings”.

  • Documents longer than 1000 mm (39 inches) must be sent by memory transmission (immediate transmission may not be possible).

  • If an original jams, press the [Clear/Stop] key, and then carefully remove the original.

  • Make sure that all ink, correcting fluid etc., has completely dried before placing your original. If it is still wet, the exposure glass will become marked and those marks will appear on the received image.

  • You can send the first page from the exposure glass then the remaining pages from the ADF. You cannot change from the ADF to the exposure glass.

  • When using the Internet Fax function, originals are sent at A4 size. Originals larger than A4 are reduced to A4 size. If the receiver's machine is compliant with the T.37 full mode, originals are sent at the size specified in the Address Book. See “T.37 Full Mode”.

  • Information about this machine is printed at the destination. This information is printed on the side of the paper that is to your left when placing the documents on the exposure glass or the ADF.

  • For acceptable types of originals, see “Acceptable Original Sizes” and “Paper Size and Scanned Area”.
