    Sending a Fax with the Numeric Buttons
    IMPORTANT
    If you enter or register an incorrect fax/telephone number with the Numeric buttons, the fax will be sent to an unexpected recipient. When sending an important fax, we recommend sending the fax after confirming the recipient's condition.

    You need to prepare:
    Originals to send.



    1. Prepare for sending a fax.
    (1) Make sure that the power is turned on.
    (2) Load the original in the ADF or on the Platen Glass.
    IMPORTANT
    When sending a double-sided document, load the document on the Platen Glass. You cannot scan double-sided documents in the ADF.

    (3) Press the FAX button.

    2. Adjust the scan contrast and resolution as necessary.
    (1) Press the FAX Quality button.
    The Scan contrast screen will appear.
    (2) Use the (-) or (+) button to select the scan contrast.
    The (-) button decreases the scan contrast, and the (+) button increases the scan contrast.

    The Scan resolution screen will appear.

    Standard: Suitable for text-only documents.

    If the recipient's fax machine is not compatible with Extra fine (300x300dpi), the fax will be sent in the Standard or Fine resolution.

    The color fax is sent with the resolution for Photo.

    • Do not open the Document Cover until scanning is completed.

    (3) Start sending.
