Fax guide
The fax function lets you scan items and fax them to one or more recipients. You can send a fax from the printer by entering the
fax number, using a shortcut number, or using the address book.
Note: You can load paper sizes in a short-edge-first or long-edge-first orientation. For more information, see “Supported paper
sizes, types, and weights” section in the User's Guide.
Sending a fax using the touch screen
1 Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.
Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings)
into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
2 If you are loading a document into the ADF, then adjust the paper guides.
3 From the home screen, touch Fax.
4 Enter the fax number or a shortcut using the touch screen or keypad.
To add recipients, touch Next Number and then enter the recipient's telephone number or shortcut number, or search the
address book.
Note: To place a dial pause within a fax number, press
. The dial pause appears as a comma in the “Fax to” box. Use this
feature if you need to dial an outside line first.
5 Touch Fax It.
Sending a fax using the computer
The printer driver fax option allows you to “print to fax,” where the printer will send a queued document as a fax rather than
print it. The fax option functions as a normal fax machine, but is controlled through the printer driver instead of the printer
control panel.
1 With a document open, click File > Print.
2 Select the printer, and then navigate to:
Properties > Fax tab > Enable fax
3 Enter the recipient fax number(s) in the “Fax number(s)” field.
Fax numbers can be entered manually or by using the Phone Book feature.
4 If necessary, enter a prefix in the Dialing prefix field.
5 Select the appropriate paper size and page orientation.
6 If you want to include a cover page with the fax, then select Include cover page with fax, and enter the appropriate
information.
7 Click OK.
