Sending faxes

Guidelines

Page sizes

While you’ll probably send normal-sized documents most of the time, it’s possible to fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or one nearly 1 meter long.

The acceptable dimensions (width ⋅ length) are:

SINGLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION		MULTIPLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION
Maximum:	280 mm ⋅ 900 mm	Maximum:	257 mm ⋅ 364 mm
Minimum:	148 mm ⋅ 105 mm	Minimum:	148 mm ⋅ 105 mm

Things not to put in your fax

To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, don’t insert:

•Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages

•Documents with staples, glue, tape, paper clips or still-wet correction fluid

•“ Sticky notes” (or documents with “sticky notes” attached)

•Cardboard, newspaper or fabric

•Pages with duplicating carbon on either side

•Credit cards or any small, thick items

Resolution, greyscale and contrast

Reviewing resolution and greyscale:

•Normal resolution (“ NORM” on the control panel) is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.

•Fine resolution (“ FINE” on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli- cated drawings, floorplans or hand-written documents.

•Superfine resolution (“ S-FINE” on the control panel, “S Fine” on the LCD) reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

•Greyscale mode (“HALFTONE” on the control panel; “Grey” on the LCD) captures shades in photos and drawings.

Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non- Muratec models) receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in greyscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.

Reviewing contrast:

You have three choices for the contrast setting:

•Normal (“ NORM” on the control panel) — Suited to most documents.

•Light — Lightens up overly dark, “muddy” original documents.

•Dark — Darkens weak, “washed-out” images.

Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just remember — “Light lightens” and “Dark darkens” — to keep it straight.

Entering a pause character when dialling

Some long-distance systems require dialling pauses, and pauses can also be useful when you’re dialling through special telephone exchanges.

To insert a pause character, just press REDIAL/PAUSE after you’ve dialled at least one other character. -/(the pause character) will appear on the display.

Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set two seconds (see “Changing the pause length,” next page, for instructions to change this setting).

For example, if the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9, REDIAL/PAUSE, 19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.

Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you’re allowed in a number.
