LOADING A DOCUMENT

A document can be loaded in the automatic document feeder or on the document glass. Use the automatic document feeder when faxing a large number of sheet originals. Use the document glass to fax originals that cannot be scanned using the automatic document feeder such as thick or thin sheet originals or bound originals such as books.

USING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

1 Lift the document glass cover and make sure a document is not placed on the document glass. Gently close the cover.

2 Adjust the document guides on the automatic document feeder to the width of the document.

3 Align the edges of the document pages and then insert the stack in the document feeder so that the first page is face down.

Insert the stack into the automatic document feeder until it stops. The stack should not be higher than the indicator line (maximum 50 pages, or 30 pages for 8-1/2"x14" or larger documents).

NOTES

Use the automatic document feeder for long originals. The document glass cannot be used. When faxing a long original, touch the [LONG SIZE] key in step 3 of "MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING SIZE" (page 1-8).

USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS

1 Open the document glass cover, and place the document face down on the document glass. Gently close the cover.

Original size detector

NOTE

Do not place any objects under the original size detector plate. Closing the document glass cover with an object underneath may damage the original size detector plate and prevent correct detection of the document size.

Regardless of the size of the original, place the original in the far left corner of the document glass. (Align the upper left-hand corner of the original with

the tip of the mark.)

8 Press the [START] key.

Scanning begins.

If there are no previous jobs in progress and the line is free, the machine will dial the receiving

machine and begin transmission as soon as the first page is

scanned. Transmission will take place while any remaining pages are scanned (Quick on-line transmission: see page 2-8).

If there is a previously stored job or a job is in progress, or if the line is being used, all pages of the document are scanned into memory and stored as a transmission job. (This is called memory transmission: the destination is automatically called and the document transmitted after previously stored jobs are completed.)

If scanning is completed normally, the machine makes a beep sound to inform you that the transmission job is stored and "JOB STORED." appears in the message display.

8 Press the [START] key.

The original is scanned and the [READ-END] key appears in the touch panel.

9 If you have another page to scan, change

pages and then press the [START] key.

Repeat this sequence until all pages have been scanned. You can change the resolution and exposure settings as needed for each page (refer to pages 1-10 and 1-11).

If the [START] key is not pressed within approximately one minute, scanning will end automatically and the transmission will be stored.

10After the last page is scanned, touch the [READ-END] key.

			The machine makes a beep
INAL.	(Pg.No.2)		sound to inform you that the
			transmission	job is stored
PRESS [READ-END].			and "JOB	STORED."
			appears in	the message
			display. (The destination is
	READ-END
			automatically called and the
			document transmitted after
previously stored jobs are completed.) Open the
document glass cover and remove the document.

NOTES

Cancelling transmission

To cancel transmission while "SCANNING ORIGINAL..." appears in the display or before the [READ-END] key is pressed, press the [C] key or the [CA] key. To cancel a transmission job that is already stored, press the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the job as explained on page 2-9.

If the machine makes two beeps during or at the end of transmission and an error message appears in the message display, refer to page 7-3 to fix the problem.

If the power is turned off or a power failure occurs while a document is being scanned in the automatic document feeder, the machine will stop and a document jam will occur. After power is restored, remove the document as explained on page 2-22 of "Operation manual (for general information and copier operation)".

A job number appears in the display with "JOB STORED." when a transmission job is stored. If you make a note of this number, you can use the number to easily locate the job when checking the results of the transmission in the job status screen for a broadcast transmission, or in the transaction report (page 7-2) or activity report (page 7-3) for other types of transmission jobs.
