Preparing a fax for transmission

Before you send a fax, prepare a cover page (if needed), load the original(s), and change the resolution and brightness (if needed).

Printing a fax cover page

If you need a fax cover page, you can print one with your printer, then manually complete the information (person to whom you are sending, fax number, your name, etc).

To print a fax cover page:

  1. Press Home.

  2. Press to select Fax Settings, then press OK.

  3. Press to select Print Fax Cover page, then press OK.

  4. Load letter or A4 paper, then press Start Black or Start Color to begin printing.

    NOTE: It does not matter which Start button you press; the fax cover prints in black-and-white only.

Loading originals for faxing

To fax documents (up to 35 pages) that are on plain paper, load the original(s) face up in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).

IMPORTANT: The ADF accepts plain paper originals from 6.9 to 8.5 in. (18 to 22 cm) wide and 9.8 to 14 in. (25 to 36 cm) long.

To fax a photo, documents on thick or thin paper, or a document that is too small or too large to fit in the ADF, place the original face down on the scanner glass. You can fax only one page at a time from the scanner glass.

For more information on loading originals, see Loading originals.

Setting fax option for one-sided or two-sided original

Before sending your fax, select whether the original is one-sided or two-sided:

  1. Press Fax.

  2. With Fax Options selected, press OK.

  3. Press to select Original.

  4. Press to select 1-sided or 2-sided.

    NOTE: If you do not want to save these settings, send your fax. The settings will apply only to the current transmission. If you want to save these settings as defaults:

    1. Press to select Save as Defaults, then press OK.

    2. Select Yes, then press OK.


Changing resolution and brightness

Before sending your fax, change the resolution and brightness settings, as needed, based on your original.

To modify settings before sending your fax:

  1. Press Fax.

  2. With Fax Options selected, press OK.

  3. Press to select Resolution.

    The resolution setting determines the amount of detail that is transmitted. Select:

    • Standard (default) for most documents

    • Fine for documents with fine print

    • Photo for photographs

  4. Press to select Brightness.

    Adjust the brightness setting according to how light or dark your original is. Select:

    • Normal (default) for most documents

    • +1 to +3 to lighten dark originals

    • -1 to -3 to darken light originals

    NOTE: If you do not want to save these settings for future faxes, send your fax. The settings will apply only to the current transmission. If you want to save these settings as defaults:

    1. Press to select Save as Defaults, then press OK.

    2. Select Yes, then press OK.
