Sending Faxes
Before you begin:
■ Documents must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide, and 5.9 and 23.7
inches long. Your fax machine can only scan an image 8.2 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.
Paper guides
■ The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding
each one individually through the fax machine. Use standard (20 lb.) paper
when using the ADF; if you’re using heavier paper, feed each sheet
