Basic Operation

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 which are not rectangular.

–Never use documents that have wet or sticky surfaces, wrinkles, staples or paper clips. However, your fax machine can transmit documents 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 fax 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

All documents must have a minimum width of 5.83" (148 mm) and a minimum length of 5.04" (128 mm). Documents cannot be wider than 8.5" (216 mm) or longer than 14.02" (356 mm).

Note: If you often have documents longer than 356 mm, your dealer may be able to adjust your fax machine to scan and transmit documents up to 59.06" (1500 mm) in length. Please be aware that adjusting the length setting to 59.06” (1500 mm) cancels detection of multiple document misfeeds.

Multiple page documents

Your fax machine can scan paper with a base weight between 60 g/m2 (16 lb.) and 105 g/m2 (28 lb.). You can load up to 30

sheets of standard 75 g/m2 (20 lb.) paper (e.g. copier or laser type 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 which is thinner than 0.08 mm or thicker than 0.13

mm.For documents, do not load paper which is thinner than

0.06 mm or thicker than 0.15 mm.

Loading Documents

To prevent paper jams and problems during scanning, neatly stack your documents, aligning their edges, before loading. Do not load documents of different sizes at the same time.

Note: You can load and prepare to transmit a document while your fax machine is still sending or receiving another message (as long as the document feeder is clear). To do

this, load the document, select your location and press the Start key. Your document will be sent when the current communication ends.
