Sending a fax
To ensure the best quality when sending faxes in color, use a color original instead of a color copy.

Load
the original. Load originals directly on the glass or in ADF. For
multi-page faxes, you must use the automatic document feeder (ADF).
Loading original on the glass
Place the original, print-side down, on the front-right corner of the glass.
