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/m
2 (16 lb.) and 105 g/m 2 (28 lb.). You can load up to 30
sheets of standard 75 g/m 2 (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.
