1. Be sure the document(s) is free of staples, paper clips and is not torn, greasy or covered by foreign objects.
2. Place the document(s) FA C E  U P on the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) until the leading edge 
inserted in the machine stops.
If you are sending multiple pages, make sure that the bottom sheet enters first. You can also stack up 
to 30 PAGES on the ADF at one time by setting the documents as stairs shape as the figure below.  
If you have more than 30 pages, wait until transmission or storing in memory starts as pages feed 
through, and place any remaining pages on top of the last page in the feeder.
3. Adjust the Document Guides to center the document on the ADF.
When you set a document on the ADF, the display message will change from date and time (standby) to 
the following message. You can now change basic transmission settings or begin the dialing procedure.
ENTER STATION(S)
