HP Officejet J5740 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 185)

Solution: Make a copy to check the quality of the printout. If the printout is too light,
you can darken it by adjusting the Lighter / Darker setting when sending the fax.
To change the Lighter / Darker setting from the control panel
1. Load your originals print side up into the document feeder tray. If you are sending
a single-page fax, such as a photograph, you can also load your original print side
down on the glass.
NOTE: If you are sending a multiple-page fax, you must load the originals in
the document feeder tray. You cannot fax a multiple-page document from the
glass.
2. In the Fax area, press Menu.
The Enter Number prompt appears.
3. Enter the fax number by using the keypad, press Speed Dial or a one-touch speed
dial button to select a speed dial, or press Redial/Pause to redial the last number
dialed.

Parts of a fax I sent are cut off
Cause: The fax is larger than letter or A4 paper.
Solution: Some fax machines cannot accept faxes larger than letter or A4 paper.
Make sure the receiving fax machine can accept the paper size you are using. If not,
ask the recipient if the receiving fax machine has a fit to page setting they can use to
reduce the incoming fax to fit standard paper size such as letter or A4.
The fax I sent was blank when it was received
Cause: The original was not loaded or was loaded incorrectly.
