Basic Faxing

Preparing Documents

Guidelines

∙Try to use good quality documents for your fax transmission. Documents that are typed, or written with a black felt-tip pen on white (or light) paper work best.

∙Do not send documents that are not rectangular.

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

∙If you are not sure how a document will fax, first make a copy on your machine (load the document face down and press the Copy key).

∙If your documents are heavily bent, creased or torn, make a copy on a photocopier and send the copy instead.

Document Size

All documents must have minimum width of 5.8″(148 mm) and a minimum length of 5″ (128 mm). Documents cannot be wider than 8.5″ (216 mm) or longer than 14" (356 mm).

Multiple Page Documents

∙The machine can scan paper weighting between 13 (50 g/ m²) and 28 pounds (105 g/m²).

∙You can load up to 20 sheets of standard 20 pound (80 g/ m²) paper, such as photocopier paper.

∙If you use lighter or heavier paper, you can load up to 15 sheets.

∙For very heavy paper, load and send pages individually.

∙When loading multiple-page documents, do not load paper that is thinner than 0.003″ (0.08 mm) or thicker than 0.005″ (0.13 mm).

∙For single documents, do not load paper that is thinner than 0.002″ (0.06 mm) or thicker than 0.006″ (0.15 mm).
