a. Using the tray on the top of the printer. Place your paper with the top feeding in first and the contents you want to scan facing you, as seen in the image below.
b. Using the scanning bed. Place your paper face-down on the glass with the top and right edges flush with the edge of the bed, as shown in the image below.

12. Once your fax has been sent, you will receive two emails, one stating that your document has been sent to the fax provider, and a receipt containing your fax and a receipt stating that it has been sent. Screenshots of the two can be seen below.
