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 extremely bent, creased or torn, 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.
Multiple page documents
Your fax machine can scan paper with a base weight between 50 g/ m
2
and
105 g/m
2
. You can load up to 20 sheets of standard 80 g/ m
2
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, load and send pages
sheet-by-sheet.
