Muratec MFX-1500 manual Sending using the ADF

Getting started

Sending using the ADF

1. If the machine is already in Fax mode, skip to step 2.

If the machine is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

2. Adjust the document guides — by sliding either of them to the left or right

—to fit the page(s) you’ll be faxing. Your fax machine’s automatic

document feeder will hold up to 50 pages of letter-sized paper, 25 pages of legal-sized paper or 15 pages of 11″ × 17″ (ledger)-sized paper.

Note: If your fax machine’s scanning width (see page 2.2) is set to “A4” and you insert a letter-sized document, your machine scans the center 8.2″ and sends it unreduced (see pages 2.3–2.4 for more on reduction). This means that each side of the page will have a 0.16″ margin that your fax machine will not scan.

3. If you’re sending a multi-page document, “fan” the pages slightly. The bottom sheet should extend just slightly from the others.

4. Insert the document face up. When you insert your documents correctly, you will hear a short beep.

The display will now show the current scanning width setting and the amount of memory available.

Document Ready

A4

Mem:100%

5. Slide the document guides to fit the width of the document.

6. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.

If these are OK, skip to step 7. Otherwise, as desired: Press RESOLUTION to change the resolution.

Press CONTRAST, then press or to change the contrast.

7. To use your default memory transmission setting, skip to step 8. Otherwise, press MEMORY TRANSMIT once to “toggle” (switch on or off) memory transmission.

8. Now, enter the fax number.

(In fax terms, you’re calling the remote fax, on its remote fax number.) Use the numeric keypad to enter the number:

Press Start 919725552009_

As you can see, you also enter any access codes (such as a 9 for “dialing out” from an office telephone system, or 1 for long-distance) along with the number, just as you would for a regular phone call.

. . . or . . .

Press a one-touch key to dial the number. (See page 2.9)

. . . or . . .

Press SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX once, followed by a three-digit speed dial number, to dial the number. (See page 2.12)

. . . or . . .

Press SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX twice and search for the name to dial the number. (See page 2.16)

9. Press START.

Now, everything is up to the machines — yours and the one you’re dialing.

•If you’ve set your fax to transmit from memory, your machine will first scan the document into memory, then dial the other fax. When it makes contact, your machine transmits the stored document from memory.

•If you’ve set the fax is set for non-memory transmission, your machine simply dials the other fax. When it makes contact, your machine feeds the document through, scanning and transmitting it as it goes.

Note: The more “stuff” (or black coverage, to use the fax term) your machine “sees” on a page, the more slowly the page will feed through as the fax scans it — especially when you transmit in non-memory mode. Sending a page in grayscale mode or certain resolution settings makes your machine “see” more “stuff.” The same is true if you set the contrast to Dark.
