Setting a Document for Sending

This section describes how to prepare a document for sending and how to perform the initial settings before dialling.

Preparing the Document

Follow these simple guidelines to check your document before you set the document on the fax for scanning.

JFor best results, load only documents of recommended standard size and weight. (QB-1)

JThe document guides on the automatic document feeder (ADF) can be adjusted to the width of non-standard size paper. For best results, all sheets in the stack should be of the same width.

JTo avoid document jams, never feed thick documents or documents backed with carbon paper.

JFor documents that are larger or smaller than these recommended limits, reduce them or enlarge them on a copy machine and then send the copy. (QB-2)

JTo avoid document jams and possible damage to the fax, avoid wrinkled or creased paper, carbon paper, curled paper, coated paper, and onion skin or other very thin paper.

JThe fax does not scan completely to the edges of the paper and anything beyond this recommended margin will not be scanned for sending. For details, refer to Appendix B. (QB-2)

JTo avoid paper jams or damaging the fax, inspect the document carefully and make sure it is free of pins, staples, paper clips, and other metal fasteners.

JMake sure all the documents are dry. They should not have wet ink, glue, or paste on their surfaces.

JBefore you feed a stack of documents into the fax, make sure all the pages are the same size and thickness. Do not attempt to feed documents of different size and thickness.
