    Sending Faxes
    Before you begin:
    nDocuments 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.
    nMake sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.
    nAdjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.
    Paper guides
    nThe 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 youÕre using heavier paper, feed each sheet
    individually to prevent paper jams.

    F/T Ñ The fax machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it
    prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with a double ring (ring-ring),
    different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you
    select this setting, youÕll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features
    (on the following pages). If you have extension phones on the same line as the
    fax machine, set Ring Delay to 4.

    TAD Ñ This is the only setting in which you can use an answering machine.
    Your telephone answering device is connected to your fax machine, and answers
    every call.  Once the TAD answers, the fax machine listens for fax tones.  If it
    detects fax tones, it prints the fax.
    The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD); it
    does not work with telephone company voice mail.  Ring Delay and F/T Ring
    Time do not work in this setting.

    Easy Receive
    When you use this feature, you donÕt have to press Start when you answer a fax
    call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When
    you see ÒRECEIVEÓ on the fax screen or when you hear ÒchirpsÓ through the
    handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the
    handset, and the fax machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to
    receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an external or
    extension phone. Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive the call only if
    youÕve answered it at the fax machine. Selecting OFF means youÕll have to
    activate the fax machine yourself, by pressing 
    Start or by pressing  5 1 if
    you are not at the fax machine.
    In case Easy Receive does not work, because of a poor phone line connection, just
    press 
    Start or press the Activation Code  5 1.

    Start.

    20, 30, or 60 seconds; no other phones on that number will ring the special
    double ring (F/T Ring Time). However, you can answer the call on any extension
    phone on the same phone number as the fax machine.
