Setting an Original to Send by Fax on the Scanner
Set a fax original in the auto document feeder (ADF) or on the exposure glass, and specify the scan settings such as 2-sided scanning and the original orientation.
When you are using the ADF to scan an original, the machine emits a beeping sound and displays a message to notify the user if the first page of the scanned original is mostly blank. This feature allows can prevent you from setting the original facing down by mistake.
If the original you want to scan includes a page of a book or a sheet in a size that cannot be set in the ADF, first, scan the page or sheet using the exposure glass, next, scan the rest of the original using the ADF, and then send them all together.
Setting an Original in the Orientation Suitable for Its Size
Set an original that is larger than A4 or 81/2 × 11 (LT) such as 11 × 17 or 81/2 × 14 in horizontal orientation (
).
Set an original that is smaller than A4 or 81/2 × 11 (LT) such as A5 or 51/2 × 81/2 in vertical orientation (
).
When setting an original that is smaller than A4 or 81/2×11 in vertical orientation ():
If the destination fax can only receive a fax smaller than A4 or 81/2 × 11 (LT) (), the machine rotates the scanned image so that the destination device can receive it in full size (rotating transmission). However, images will be reduced when you are using Immediate Transmission or Mixed Size Original.
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.
If an original jams, press [Stop], and then carefully remove the original.
When using the Cloud Fax function, you can send A4 originals. Originals larger than A4 are reduced to A4.
