in the document feeder tray. You cannot fax a multiple-page document

Yes you can send fax from this HP Photosmart 2710

The 6012 has a small glass strip under the automatic document feeder (adf) that needs to be cleaned. If it's dirty it will cause the stripes you describe. Lift up the lift the cover of the adf, now lift the lid as if you were loading an original on the glass. Lift the adf feeder mechanism (lower half) there you will find the glass strip. Clean it with a damp sponge or rag with windex or other non-abrasive glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner on the strip. Close it all back up and that should take care of your problem if not let us know! Thanks for using fixya!

The problem may be in the machine you're sending to, if you get a copy thru the adf or on the glass with no lines, it's the same image you would send thru fax. Check the narrow glass though, I usually find white out on that glass and have to clean it off.

This is because your **** Glass is Dirty Clean your **** Glass and it will be ok.
