When feeding in a long original, grasp the original at the edges to guide it into the machine.
When you are using the faxing functions of the machine, your originals are, in effect, being scanned through the
machine. The area of a original that is scanned by the machine while faxing is slightly smaller than the actual
original size. Any text or graphics outside this area will not be scanned.
