Scanning Area The FAX-L250 does not scan the areas within the maximum margins of 3.0 mm on either side of the sheet and 4.0 mm on the top and bottom. Make sure your document’s text and graphics do not extend into these margins.
Page 108: Selecting Automatic/Manual Document Feed
Sending Faxes Selecting Automatic/Manual Document Feed With the FAX-L250, you can select whether you want to scan documents automatically or manually. Automatic document feeding is used when scanning multipage documents on normal paper. Use manual document feeding when scanning single-page documents such as photos, business cards, or documents on other special types of paper.

Wait until your document has been scanned completely before inserting a new document. Trouble With Multipage Documents If you have trouble feeding a multipage document, do the following: Remove the stack and tap it on a ﬂat surface to even the edges.

Page 115: Setting The Resolution And Contrast
Canon’s Ultra High Quality (UHQ™) imaging technology enables you to send faxes with a print quality that is very close to that of the original document. The FAX-L250 also lets you adjust the resolution it uses in sending faxes to best suit your particular document.
Page 116: Setting The Scanning Contrast
Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed document. You can adjust the contrast the FAX-L250 uses when scanning documents to be sent. STANDARD is the default setting and is adequate for most documents. To darken a light original, set to DARKER; to lighten dark originals, use LIGHTER.
Page 117: Sending Methods
Memory sending allows you to send a document easily and quickly. This method of sending scans the document into memory, and as the ﬁrst page of a multipage document is being scanned, the FAX-L250 already begins calling the other party and transmitting the information even as the remaining pages are being scanned.
Page 118: Sending Documents
Manual Sending via the Handset If you have the optional handset or a telephone connected to your FAX-L250, you can send faxes manually. This allows you to talk to the other party before sending the fax, which can be useful if the other party uses a single line for both voice and fax transmissions.
Page 119 START/COPY on the FAX-L250 and hang up. ¶ The LCD displays TX and the transmission number (TX/RX NO.) Be sure to press the ( START/COPY) button before you hang up, or you will disconnect the call.
Page 120: Memory Sending
Memory sending is a quick and easy way to send a fax. The FAX-L250 scans the document into its memory as it dials the fax number. If the line is free, the FAX-L250 begins sending the fax as it scans the rest of the document.
Page 121 ¶ When the FAX-L250 ﬁnishes sending the fax, the display shows the TRANSMITTING OK message: If an error occurs during sending, the FAX-L250 will print out an error report. If this happens, try sending the fax again. See Faxing Problems on page 10-20 for details about errors.
Page 122: Adding Pages To The Document In The Automatic Document Feeder (Adf)
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) The FAX-L250 Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 A4, 20 letter, or 10 legal-size pages at a time when the document feed lever is set to automatic document feed. If your document has more pages than this, you can add pages while the FAX-L250 is scanning.
Page 123: Cancelling Sending
¶ If you change your mind and want the unit to continue sending, press the # button. The FAX-L250 will continue sending normally. After you cancel a fax, you may need to open the operation panel to remove the document from the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). See Removing the Document from the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) on page 5-22.

Page 168: Special Dialling
Dialling Through a Switchboard A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is an on-site telephone switchboard. If your FAX-L250 is connected through a PBX or other telephone switching system, you have to dial the outside line access number ﬁrst, and then dial the number of the party you are calling.
Page 169 Press START/COPY, then use the access line type for the switching system.* Users in Australia cannot select EARTH CONNECTION. Press START/COPY. If you selected PREFIX in step 5 Press START/COPY, then use the numeric buttons to enter the outside line access number (up to 20 digits).
Page 170: Long Distance Dialling
Special Features Long Distance Dialling When you register a long distance number, you may have to insert a pause either within or after the number. For long distance dialling, the location and length of the pause may differ depending on the telephone system.
Page 171: Conﬁrming A Dial Tone
Conﬁrming a Dial Tone* Use this feature only when you register a number. In some areas you may have to conﬁrm the dial tone in the middle of the facsimile number before dialling the rest of the number. This is called dial tone detection.
Page 172: Using Tone Dialling On A Pulse Line
Using Tone Dialling on a Pulse Line Even if you have a pulse line, the FAX-L250 enables you to use tone dialling once you have connected to the number you are calling. This lets you take advantage of many services that require tones, such as selecting options from telephone touch-line services.
Page 173: Restricting Use Of The Fax-L250
Restricting Use of the FAX-L250 If you do not want unauthorised people to be able to make calls or send documents, set the LOCK PHONE feature to ON. To restrict access to the LOCK PHONE option, you need to register a password. Set the password and LOCK PHONE option as follows: Press FUNCTION.
Page 174 Special Features To register or change the current password, enter four numbers, then press START/COPY. – or – To keep the current password, press START/COPY. Press START/COPY, then use LOCK PHONE on or off. ¶ The default setting is OFF. Anyone can send documents or dial normally.
Page 175: Using Alternative Telephone Networks (Uk Only)
Using Alternative Telephone Networks (UK only) The FAX-L250 has a built-in feature that allows you to send documents and make telephone calls with an alternative long-distance service, such as the 2300 Service of Mercury Communications Limited. If you subscribe to such a service, you can save money on most long distance international communications.
