Using the Fax option

When you enter a fax number and scan your document using the Fax option, the device delivers the document to the server, which sends the fax to intended recipients. By default, fax scans are performed in black and white, since documents cannot be delivered via fax communication in color.

  1. Assemble your document and go to the device.

  2. Press Fax. (If you do not see this option, find it using the scroll bar.)

  3. Press the Fax Number text box and enter the destination fax number using the keypad that opens.
    Press OK to close the keypad.

Note: If you do not enter a fax number, you will get an error message.

  1. To fax without adding a cover sheet, be sure the Add Cover Sheet option is NOT selected (if this option appears). Then, press Next. Continue with Step 5.

To add a cover sheet:

    1. Press the Add Cover Sheet check box.

    2. Enter information in the Sender Name, Recipient Name, and Subject text boxes.

    3. Press Next.

    1. Load the document into the document feeder or place it on the exposure glass. (Use the exposure glass only if scanning a single page.)

    2. Optionally, press Options or More Options to change Scan Settings (such as parameters for control over document routing and formatting).

    3. Press Start or Scan to begin scanning. A progress indicator will appear.

    4. Wait for the job to finish. (Alternatively, press Cancel or Cancel Job to stop scanning.)
      When transfer is complete, a message indicates the job status.

    5. To scan another document using the same Fax option, press Back.
      If the Completed option is available, you can press it to return to the Fax screen.

To end the session and return to the main menu, press OK or Exit.
