Creating shortcuts
Instead of entering the entire phone number of a fax recipient on the control panel each time you want to send a fax, you 
can create a permanent fax destination and assign a shortcut number. A single shortcut number or a multiple number 
shortcut can be created. There are two methods for creating shortcut numbers: from a computer or from the MFP touch 
screen.
From a computer
1Enter the IP address of the MFP in the URL field (address bar) of your Web browser. If you do not know the IP 
address, see your administrator.
2Click Configuration (in the left frame of your browser window), and then click Manage Destinations (in the right 
frame of your browser window).
Note:A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and password, get one from your system 
support person.
3Click Fax Shortcut Setup.
4Enter a unique name for the shortcut, and specify the fax number.
To create a multiple number shortcut, enter the fax numbers for the group.
Note:Separate each fax number in the group with a semicolon (;).
5Assign a shortcut number.
If you enter a number that is already in use, you are prompted to select another number.
6Click Add.
7Go to the MFP, and load your original document in the automatic document feeder face-up, short-edge first.
8From the numeric keypad, press #, and then enter your shortcut number.
9Touch Fax It.

4Touch Save as Shortcut.
5Enter a unique name for the shortcut.

Faxing
Understanding fax options
Original: Opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to fax.
•Touching any of the paper size buttons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the 
Fax Options Screen.
•When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan different size original documents (letter and legal size 
pages). They will be scaled automatically to fit the selected output media size.
Content: Used to select the type of document you are scanning (for example, Text, Text/Photo, or Photo). Content affects 
the quality and size of your scan by selecting how the scanner will handle the information on the original document.
•The Text setting will emphasize sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background.
The Text/Photo setting is used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures.
•The Photo setting tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting takes longer to 
scan but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases 
the amount of information saved.
Sides: Informs the MFP if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both sides). This 
lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the fax.
Resolution: Increases how closely the scanner examines the document you wish to fax. If you are faxing a photograph, a 
drawing with fine lines, or a document with very small text, increase the Resolution setting. This will increase the amount of 
time required for the scan and will increase the quality of the fax output. Standard is suitable for most documents. Fine is 
recommended for documents with small print. Super fine is recommended for original documents with fine detail. Ultra fine 
is recommended for documents with pictures or photographs.
Darkness: Adjusts how light or dark your faxes will turn out in relation to the original document.
Advanced Options: Accesses the Delayed Send, Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Transmission Log, Scan Preview, 
Edge Erase, Advanced Duplex, or Fax Queue settings.
Delayed Send: Sets up a fax that will be sent at a later time or date. After setting up your fax, select Delayed 
Send, enter the time and date you would like to transmit your fax, and then touch Done. This setting can be 
especially useful in sending information to fax lines that are not readily available during certain hours, or when 
transmission times are cheaper.
Note:If the device is powered off when the delayed fax is due to be sent, the fax is sent the next time the 
MFP is powered up.
Advanced Imaging: Select this feature to adjust Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you 
copy the document.
Custom Job (Job Build): Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job.
Note:Custom Job is not supported on all models.
Transmission Log: Prints the transmission log or transmission error log.
Scan Preview: Displays the image before it is included in the fax. When a page is scanned, the scanning is 
paused and a preview image appears.
Note:Scan Preview is not supported on all models.
Edge Erase: Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your document. You can choose to eliminate 
an equal area around all four sides of the paper or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is within 
the area selected, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.
Advanced Duplex: Controls how many sides and what orientation your original document has, and whether your 
original documents are bound along the long edge or the short edge.

text or fine line art.

Sides (Duplex): Tells the MFP if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both sides). 
This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the e-mail.
Binding: Tells the MFP whether the original document is bound on the long-edge or short-edge side.
Base File Name: Lets you enter a file name. The default value is the word image. A timestamp is added to the file name to 
prevent overwriting files of the same name at the FTP site.
Note:There is a 53-character limit for the file name.
Resolution: Adjusts the output quality of your file. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time 
needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the file size.
Send As: Sets the output (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG) for the scanned image.
PDF output is a single file.
TIFF output is a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Configuration menu, then TIFF saves one page 
each in a series of files.
JPEG saves one page in each file. When multiple pages are scanned, the output will be a series of files.
Content: Tells the MFP the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Color can be turned on or off 
with any of the Content choices. Content affects the quality and size of your FTP file.
Te x t : Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background.
Text/Photo: Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures.
Photo: Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting takes longer to scan but 
emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases the amount 
of information saved.
Color: Sets the scan type and output for the copy. Color documents can be scanned and sent to an FTP site, PC, 
or e-mail address. The MFP will print color documents in grayscale only.
Advanced Options: Accesses the Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Transmission Log, Scan Preview, Edge Erase, or 
Darkness settings.
Advanced Imaging: Select this feature to adjust Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you 
scan the document.
Custom Job (Job Build): Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job.
Note:Custom Job is not supported on all models.
Transmission Log: Prints the transmission log or transmission error log.
Scan Preview: Displays the first pages of the image before it is included in the FTP file. When the first page is 
scanned, the scanning is paused and a preview image appears.
