Sending faxes
Some guidelines
How big — and small — your pages can be
While you'll probably be sending normal-sized documents most of the time, you can
fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or one nearly 3 feet long!
To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width length) are:

Things not to put in your fax
To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, please don't 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 ("

ments and simple drawings.
• Fine resolution ("

cated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.
• Superfine resolution ("

HALFTONE
shades in photos and drawings.
Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non-
Muratec models) will receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a
fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.

Entering a pause character when dialing
Your fax machine provides special dialing characters which you may find useful.
We'll discuss most of them later (see page 2.8), but you may need to know now
about the pause character. Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and
pauses can be useful also when you're dialing through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause character, just press
other character). -/ (the pause character) will appear on the display.
Each pause you enter lasts for a factory-set five seconds (see "Changing the pause
length," next page, for how to change this setting).
For example, assuming the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9,
