special sizes and types of paper) on the fax
machine before purchasing large quantities.
You can change the settings on following tabs.
Paper: Paper size, paper type, etc.
Output: Pages per sheet, etc.
Quality: Graphics mode, resolution, toner save
feature, etc.
Note:
L To select [Envelope] for paper type on the
[Paper] tab, you need to select [Envelope

save feature on the [Quality] tab overrides

time for printing, print-side down.

and place it on a flat surface to cool and to
prevent it from curling.
L Do not re-use transparencies that have
already been fed through the fax machine.
This includes transparencies that have been
fed through and ejected without being printed
on.
L Some types of transparencies have
instructions recommending which side to
print on. If the print quality is poor, try printing
on the other side.
