Page 109: Preparing To Send A Fax
Preparing to Send a Fax Before you can send a fax, you need to load the document into the FAX-L260i. For instructions and information about the types of documents you can scan with the FAX-L260i, see below. Document Requirements The documents you load into the FAX-L260i must meet these requirements:...
Page 110 Make sure any glue, ink, or correction ﬂuid on the paper is completely dry before loading the document into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). If you have a document that will not feed into the FAX-L260i properly, make a photocopy of the document, then load the copy instead.
Page 111: Scanning Area
Scanning Area The FAX-L260i 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 112: Selecting Automatic/Manual Document Feed
Selecting Automatic/Manual Document Feed With the FAX-L260i, 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.
Page 113: Loading Documents For Automatic Feed
Loading Documents for Automatic Feed 1. Make sure the document feed lever is set to automatic document feed. 2. If the document has multiple pages, tap it on a ﬂat surface to even the edges. Chapter 5 Sending Faxes...
Page 114 3. Adjust the document guides to the width of the document. 4. Gently insert the document face down (top of the document towards you) into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) until it stops. Sending Faxes Chapter 5...
Page 115 The document is now ready for scanning. The FAX-L260i automatically feeds the pages one by one from the bottom of the stack. Wait until all pages of your document have been scanned completely before starting a new job. Trouble With Multipage Documents If you have trouble feeding a multipage document, do the following: 1.
Page 116 2. Gently insert the stack into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) until it stops. If you have further trouble with page jams while feeding, see ”Jams in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)?” on page 9-5. You cannot feed a multipage document of thick media, such as postcards or business cards.
Page 117: Loading Documents For Manual Feed
Loading Documents for Manual Feed 1. Make sure the document feed lever is set to manual document feed. When using manual feed, use a carrier sheet to avoid scratching the surface of important documents (photographs, for example). 2. Adjust the document guides to the width of the document. Chapter 5 Sending Faxes 5-11...
Page 118 3. Gently insert the document face-down (top of the document towards you) into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) until it stops. The document is now ready for scanning. Wait until your document has been scanned completely before inserting a new document.
Page 119: Setting The Resolution And Contrast
L260i also lets you adjust the resolution it uses in sending faxes to best suit your particular document. The FAX-L260i has ﬁve resolution settings: STANDARD resolution (203 × 98 dpi) is adequate for most text documents. FINE resolution (203 × 196 dpi) is suitable for documents with ﬁne print (smaller than the print in this sentence).

Page 121: 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-L260i uses when scanning documents to be sent. STANDARD is the default setting and is adequate for most documents.
Page 122: Sending Method
To use memory sending, you load the document, dial the fax number and press the START/COPY button. See page 5-18 for more details on memory sending. Since the FAX-L260i is multitasking, you can even scan a document into the memory while sending a document, receiving a document, or printing a report.

Page 124: Sending Documents
This section describes the way to send faxes with the FAX-L260i. Memory Sending Memory sending is a quick and easy way to send a fax. The FAX-L260i scans the document into its memory before dialling the number. The FAX-L260i has enough memory to store up to 230 pages (fewer if the document contains many graphics or particularly dense text).
Page 125 When the FAX-L260i ﬁnishes sending the fax, the display shows the TRANSMITTING OK message: TRANSMITTING OK If an error occurs during sending, the FAX-L260i will print out an error report. If this happens, try sending the fax again. See ”Faxing Problems” on page 9-20 for details about errors.
Page 126: Adding Pages To The Document In The Automatic Document Feeder (Adf)
The FAX-L260i Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 A4-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-L260i is scanning.
