DO:
Check Page Settings - the most commonly accepted page size is US letter (8½ X 11 inches).
Check Fax Print Quality - ensure that Text Darkness is set to Normal before faxing.
Ensure that form pages are legible before faxing.
Send yourself a test fax if possible - experiment with different Text/Page Settings to see what works best.
Insert the fax with the printed side oriented correctly - either face up or face down, depending on your fax machine. Otherwise, you will only fax the blank side.
Ensure that you receive a confirmation message from your fax machine that the fax was transmitted successfully.
DON'T:
Try to scan more than one page per sheet before faxing (Pages per Sheet).
Reduce the Page Magnification below 100%.
