4. Check4 Is the original document loaded with the wrong side facing upwards or downwards?

   When loading a document on the platen glass, the side to be scanned should be face down.

   When loading a document in the ADF, the side to be scanned should be face up.

5. Check5 Are you scanning thick or curled documents?

   Thick or curled documents may not be sent as good quality faxes, because of a shadow or distortion caused when such documents are scanned.

   When loading a document on the platen glass, press on the document cover with your hand when scanning.
