Question

Faxing Multiple Pages

Asked by: Zyloch

I am unfamiliar with how faxing machines work, so I need some help faxing multiple pages. My fax machine allows me to put all the sheets in a document feeder, and I see that it takes the topmost page in first. When faxing many pages together, I am wondering if I should insert the pages in reverse order so that the top page ends up coming up on top.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

What is the make and model?

If your fax has a sheet feeder, which it sounds like it does, then I doubt it would have you reverse the order of the pages to fax multiple sheets.  If it takes the top page the it probably takes the pages faces up and turns them.  Can you see any graphic on the sheet feeder part of the fax to illustrate how the pages should be placed?  Look for a turned corner and see if there are horizontal lines.  That is the sign of the side with writing.

Let me know how this helps or if you have a question.  Since all faxes are a little different your specific make and model are needed if you want me to be specific or definite.  However I have never seen a fax that makes you reverse the page order to use a sheet feeder.

Send your faxes so that the first page goes in first. Don't worry about them printing in reverse order at the machines print them in the order they come in. The pages are also numbered as they are sent. You want page one to be the header page with receiver info on it.
We have computer fax receivers inthe office. Some monitors the incoming faxres and emails them to the correct person. They only get to see the first page with the sende info on it.

Don't worry about how pages will be recieved, with so many different receiving systems, there really is nothing you can do to ensure First Page will appear on top of pile. So as advised above just send them in order from your end - this is what people will expect anyway.
