MULTIPLE-SHEET

 

Maximum: 11″ ⋅

35.4″

Maximum: 10.1″ ⋅

14.3″

Minimum: 4.7″ ⋅

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

OHP transparency film

How to set the document

1 Insert your document(s) face up, top edge first. If you’re sending a multi-page docu- ments, “fan” the pages slightly.

2 Adjust the document width guide to fit your documents.

Basic operation

Resolution, grayscale and contrast

Reviewing resolution and grayscale:

Normal resolution is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.

Fine resolution is ideal for maps, moderately complicated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.

Superfine resolution (“S-fine” on the LCD) reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

Grayscale mode (“Gray” 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 grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.

To change the resolution setting, press [Mode] repeatedly. It will toggle Normal, Fine, S-Fine and Gray.

Reviewing contrast

Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or dark- ness, as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.

To change the contrast setting, press [Contrast] repeatedly. It will toggle Normal, Light and Dark.

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