Faxing: Basic Operations
This chapter explains how to load documents for faxing,
how to send and receive faxes, how to use the closed
network and voice request features, and how your
OKIFAX handles power interruptions.
Preparing Documents for Faxing
Use the information in this section to make sure your
documents scan and fax easily and clearly.
Guidelines
Try to use good quality documents for your fax transmis-
sions. Documents that are typed or written with a black
felt-tip pen 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 OKIFAX
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: load the document face down and press the
Copy key.
If your documents are heavily bent, creased or torn, make
a copy on a photocopier and send the copy instead.
Document Size
All documents must have a minimum width of 5.8" (148
mm) and a minimum length of 5" (128 mm). Docu-
ments cannot be wider than 8.5" (216 mm) or longer than
14" (356 mm).
Note: Your OKIFAX can be set to accept documents of
unlimited length—see your Authorized OKIFAX Dealer..
Multiple Page Documents
Your OKIFAX can scan paper with a basis weight be-
tween 13 pounds (50 g/m
2
) and 28 pounds (105 g/m
2
).
You can load up to 30 sheets of standard 20-pound (80
g/m
2
) paper, such as photocopier paper. If you use lighter
or heavier paper, you can load up to 15 sheets. For very
heavy paper, load and send pages individually.
