BASIC OPERATIONS
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 very creased, torn, or crinkled, 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 148 mm and a
minimum length of 128 mm. Documents cannot be wider than
216 mm or longer than 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 1500 mm in length.
Please be aware that adjusting the length setting to 1500
mm cancels detection of multiple document misfeeds.
Multiple Page Documents
Your fax machine can scan paper with a base weight between
50 gsm and 105 gsm. You can load up to 20 sheets of standard
80 gsm paper (e.g. photocopier paper) at the same time. If you
use a heavier paper, you can load up to 15 sheets. For very heavy
paper, manually load sheets and send pages sheet-by-sheet.
When loading several pages for transmission, paper thickness should
be between 0.08 mm and 0.13 mm. For single page transmission,
paper thickness can be between 0.06 mm and 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 scanned into memory
and sent when the current communication ends.
