THE FAX MACHINE
Sending a Fax
In this chapter, you will learn how to send and receive fax documents, how to use the four
fax reception modes, and voice request features.

Preparing a Document

Here are some things to do to improve the quality of your faxed documents:
Send documents printed using a typewriter, felt tip pen, black ink, or laserwriter. The
paper should be white or very light and of normal weight - not cardboard. Blue lines on
a ruled pad don’t fax well.
The unit can transmit documents with the following sizes:
8.5”
Maximum
up to a maximum
of 59”
DO NOT attempt to feed the following document types into the unit, as they may jam.
Instead, make a photocopy and send the copy
Wrinkled or creased Curled or rolled paper
paper or fax paper
Torn paper
Carbon or carbon-
backed paper Coated paper Too thin (less than 0.003”) or
too thick (more than 0.006”)
paper
Remove clips, staples, and similar objects from documents before feeding them into
the machine.
Allow ink or paste dry completely before you send a document.
