Controlling Transmission Quality

Preparing a Good Original

To prevent jamming and ensure good results on the receiving fax machine:

•Remove all staples, clips, and tape from the original documents.

•If you must re-fax a document that was faxed to you, we recommend that you make a copy of it on a regular office copier, and fax the copy for better transmission quality.

To create good quality original documents, do the following:

•Type them instead of writing.

•When writing, use a felt-tip pen and black ink.

•Use white paper.

Do not try to send documents that are:

•Wet or damp

•Covered with wet ink or paste

•Too thin (such as onionskin, airmail paper, or pages from a magazine)

• Chemically p r o c e s s e d ( s u c h a s pressure-sensitive paper or carbon- coated paper)

•Coated (such as glossy paper)

•Too small or short (such as a label or card)

•Made of cloth or metal

Use an office copier to piece together several small originals or m a k e a standard size copy of an original too small to load in your unit.

Page & Document Size Limitations

Your unit accepts original documents no smaller than 6 inches wide by 8.5 inches long, and no larger than 8.5 inches wide by 59 inches long.

Do not attempt to load 2 or more documents into the unit when the documents are too thin or too thick. These documents might fail in automatic feeding. Feed one sheet at a time. Refer to the chart below for acceptable thickness.

Make a standard copy by using an office copier to send the document of unacceptable thickness.

Setting Resolution and Contrast of Documents

You can adjust the resolution and contrast to send a high-quality transmission of documents. The higher the resolution, the longer the fax takes to send, but the results will look better at the receiving end.

You can choose from the following resolution settings :

•FINE : Documents containing small print or print from a dot-matrix printer

•SUPER FINE : Documents containing very detailed print, documents with intricate drawing

The contrast control on your unit lets you add half-tone shading for sending photographs or documents printed in color.

The following contrast settings are available :

•LIGHT : Documents with light or faint print, pencil

• PHOTO : Photographs or other documents containing many levels of gray
