Sending faxes

Some guidelines

How big — and small — your pages can be
While you’ll probably be sending normal-sized documents most of the time, you
can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or nearly three feet long!
To be precise, the acceptable dimensions ( w id th × len gth ) ar e:
Automatic document feeder (ADF) section
Single-sheet transmission Multiple-sheet transmission
Maximum: 12.0″ × 35.4″Maximum: 11.7″ × 16.5″
Minimum: 4.7″ × 3.9″Minimum: 5.8″ × 4.1″
Flatbed scanner (FBS) section
Maximum: 10.1″ × 14.3″
Things NOT to put in your fax
Important: To help avoid troubles ranging from paper jams to out-and-out
damage to your machine, please don’t insert:
• Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages
• Documents with staples, glue, tape, paper clips or correction fluid
• “Sticky notes” (or documents with “sticky notes” attached)
• Cardboard, newspaper or fabric
• Pages with duplicating carbon on either side
• Credit cards or similar small, thick items
Resolution, grayscale and contrast
Reviewing resolution and grayscale
• Normal resolution (indicated if neither the FINE light, S-FINE light nor
HALFTONE light is on) — Suitable for most typed documents and
simple drawings.
• Fine resolution (FINE on the control panel) is ideal fo r map s , mo d er ately
complicated drawings, financial or hand-written d o cum ents.
• Superfine resolution (S-FINE on the control panel; “S Fine” on the display)
reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawing s or line art.
• Grayscale mode (HALFTONE on the control panel; “Gray” on the display)
captures shades in photos and drawings.
Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non-
Muratec models) will receive it only in fine mode. However , you can s end a
fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.
Note: If making a copy, you may select only the Superfine or Grayscale resolution.
To change the resolution setting, press RESOLUTION repeatedly. As
noted above, if neither the FINE, S-FINE nor HALFTONE LED (light-
emitting diode; in this case, a small green light) is glowing, your fax
is set for normal resolution. Otherwise, a glo w in g LED indi cates th e
fax is using the setting named by that LED. For example, in the
drawing (left), the machine is set for fine resolution.
Contrast
Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or
darkness, as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.
To change the contrast setting:
1. Press CONTRAST on the control panel. The display, or LCD (liquid crystal
display), indicates the current contrast setting.
