Setting a Document for Sending
This section describes how to prepare a document for sending and how to
perform the initial settings before dialling.
Preparing the Document
Follow these simple guidelines to check your document before you set the
document on the fax for scanning.
½ For best results, load only documents of recommended standard size and
weight. (QB-1)
½ The document guides on the automatic document feeder (ADF) can be
adjusted to the width of non-standard size paper. For best results, all sheets in
the stack should be of the same width.
½ To avoid document jams, never feed thick documents or documents backed
with carbon paper.
½ For documents that are larger or smaller than these recommended limits,
reduce them or enlarge them on a copy machine and then send the copy.
(QB-2)
½ To avoid document jams and possible damage to the fax, avoid wrinkled or
creased paper, carbon paper, curled paper, coated paper, and onion skin or
other very thin paper.
½ The fax does not scan completely to the edges of the paper and anything
beyond this recommended margin will not be scanned for sending. For
details, refer to Appendix B. (QB-2)
½ To avoid paper jams or damaging the fax, inspect the document carefully and
make sure it is free of pins, staples, paper clips, and other metal fasteners.
½ Make sure all the documents are dry. They should not have wet ink, glue, or
paste on their surfaces.
½ Before you feed a stack of documents into the fax, make sure all the pages
are the same size and thickness. Do not attempt to feed documents of
different size and thickness.
