TRANSMITTING AN IMAGE

SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN MODE

An image can be sent in scan mode (Scan to E-mail, Scan to FTP, Scan to Desktop, and Scan to Network Folder).

  • If the memory becomes full while the originals are being scanned, a message will appear and scanning will stop.
  • When performing Scan to E-mail, take care not to send a file that is too large. In particular, multi-page files tend to be large. When sending a multi-page file or other large file, it may be necessary to reduce the number of scanned pages or reduce the send size.

Caution

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

Place the original.

Place the original in the document feeder tray of the automatic document feeder, or on the document glass.

  • When placing the originals, orient them as shown below.
    • * To place a large portrait-oriented original, place it as shown in the figure titled "Landscape orientation" and specify the placement orientation in step 4.
  • Place A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") size originals in portrait (vertical) orientation ( ). If placed in landscape (horizontal) orientation (), an incorrect size will be detected. For an A5R (5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R) size original, enter the original size manually.
