Basic Faxing Operations
• 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: 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 a 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).
! Your fax machine can be set to accept documents of
unlimited length—see your Authorized OKIFAX Dealer.
This section explains how to load documents for faxing, how
to send and receive faxes, how to use the closed network and
voice request features, and how your fax machine handles
power interruptions.
Preparing Documents for Faxing
Use the information in this section to make sure your
documents scan and fax easily and clearly.
Guidelines
• Try to use good quality documents for your fax
transmissions. 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.
