Preparing Documents

-Try to use good quality documents for your transmissions. Documents that are typed or created in felt-tip black ink on white (or light) paper work best.

-Do not send documents that are not rectangu- lar.

-Never use documents that have wet or sticky surfaces, wrinkles, staples or paper clips. However, your machine can transmit docu- ments that have been subject to normal wear, such as documents with staple holes, letter folds and minor corner folds.

-If you are not sure how a document will fax, try making a copy first on your machine (load the document face down and press the COPY key).

-If your documents are bent, creased or torn, make a copy on a photocopier and send the copy instead. You can also use a photocopier to enlarge or reduce documents before sending.

Document Size

Width

All documents must have a minimum width of 5.8 inches (148 mm).

Documents cannot be wider than 8.5 inches (216 mm).

Length

All documents must have a minimum length of 5 inches (128 mm).

Documents cannot be longer than 14 inches (356 mm).

Multiple Page Documents

Your machine can scan paper with a base weight between 16 pounds (60 g/m2) and 28 pounds (105 g/m2). You can load up to 30 sheets of standard 20- pound paper (like photocopier paper) at the same time. If you use a heavier paper, you can load up to 15 sheets. For very heavy paper, load and send pages sheet-by-sheet.

When loading multiple-page documents, do not load paper that is thinner than .003 inches

(0.08 mm) or thicker than .005 inches (0.13 mm).

For single-page documents, do not load paper that is thinner than .002 inches (0.06 mm) or thicker than .006 inches (0.15 mm).
