To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, don’t insert:

• “Sticky notes” (or documents with “sticky notes” attached)
• Cardboard, newspaper or fabric
• Pages with duplicating carbon on either side
• Credit cards or any small, thick items

guide to fit your documents.
Document mode and contrast
Reviewing document mode:
• Normal is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.
• Fine is ideal for maps, moderately complicated drawings, floorplans or handwrit-
ten documents.
• Superfine (“S-Fine” on the
LCD
) reproduces the detail of extremely complicated
drawings or line art.
• Grayscale (“Gray” on the
LCD
) captures shades in photos and drawings.
Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non-
Muratec models) receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in
grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.
