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 (width × length) are:

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

Resolution, grayscale and contrast

Reviewing resolution and grayscale

•Normal resolution (indicated if neither the FINE light, S-FINElight nor HALFTONE light is on) — Suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.

•Fine resolution (FINE on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately complicated drawings, financial or hand-written documents.

•Superfine resolution (S-FINEon the control panel; “S Fine” on the display) reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings 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 send 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.

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

Contrast

To change the resolution setting, press RESOLUTION repeatedly. As noted above, if neither the FINE, S-FINEnor HALFTONE LED (light- emitting diode; in this case, a small green light) is glowing, your fax is set for normal resolution. Otherwise, a glowing LED indicates the fax is using the setting named by that LED. For example, in the drawing (left), the machine is set for fine resolution.

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.
