Overview
Basic Faxing
Preparing Documents
Guidelines
• Try to use good quality documents for your fax
transmission. Documents that are typed, or written with a
black felt-tip pen on white (or light) paper work best.
• Do not send documents that are not rectangular.
• Never use documents that have wet or sticky surfaces,
wrinkles, staples, or paper clips. However, your machine
can transmit documents that have been subject to normal
wear, such a documents with staple holes, letter folds and
minor corner folds.
• If you are not sure how a document will fax, first make a
copy on your machine (load the document face down and
press the Copy key).
• If your documents are heavily bent, creased or torn, make
a copy on a photocopier and send the copy instead.
Document Size
All documents must have minimum width of 5.8″(148 mm)
and a minimum length of 5″ (128 mm). Documents cannot be
wider than 8.5″ (216 mm) or longer than 14" (356 mm).
Multiple Page Documents
• The machine can scan paper weighting between 13 (50 g/
m²) and 28 pounds (105 g/m²).
• You can load up to 20 sheets of standard 20 pound (80 g/
m²) paper, such as photocopier paper.
• If you use lighter or heavier paper, you can load up to 15
sheets.
• For very heavy paper, load and send pages individually.
• When loading multiple-page documents, do not load paper
that is thinner than 0.003″ (0.08 mm) or thicker than
0.005″ (0.13 mm).
• For single documents, do not load paper that is thinner
than 0.002″ (0.06 mm) or thicker than 0.006″ (0.15 mm).
