Some guidelines
How big — and small — your pages can be
You can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or nearly 3 feet long!
To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:
S
INGLE
-
SHEET TRANSMISSION
M
ULTIPLE
-
SHEET TRANSMISSION
Document thickness: 0.06 to 0.13 mm
Note: The maximum width of the scanned area is 8.2 inches. This means there
will be a 0.16-inch margin on each side of the page that your fax machine
will not scan.
Things not to put in your fax
To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, do not insert:
• Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages
• Documents with staples, glue, tape, paper clips or still-wet correction fluid
• “Sticky notes” (or documents with “sticky notes” attached)
• Cardboard, newspaper or fabric
• Pages with duplicating carbon on either side
• Credit cards or similar small, thick items
Some thoughts on resolution, grayscale and contrast
Reviewing resolution and grayscale
• Normal resolution is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.
• Fine resolution is ideal for maps, floorplans or handwritten documents.
• Superfine resolution reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings
or line art.
• Grayscale mode (“
HALFTONE
” on the control panel) captures shades in photos and
drawings.
Note: If you send a fax in superfine, there are some machines that receive it only
in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in grayscale mode to virtually
any fax machine currently in use.
To change the resolution setting, press
RESOLUTION
repeatedly. As noted
above, if neither the
FINE
,
S
-
FINE
nor
HALFTONE LED
(light-emitting
diode) is glowing, your fax is set for normal resolution. Otherwise, a
glowing
LED
indicates the fax is using that setting. For example, in the
drawing (left), the machine is set for fine resolution.
