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 nearly three feet long!
To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:
Automatic document feeder (
ADF
Single-sheet transmission
Maximum: 12.0 35.4
Minimum: 4.7 3.9
Flatbed scanner ( ) section
FBS
Maximum: 10.1 14.3
Things to put in your fax
NOT
Important: To help avoid troubles ranging from paper jams to out-and-out
damage to your machine, please don't insert:
• Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages
• Documents with staples, glue, tape, paper clips or correction fluid
• "Sticky notes" (or documents with "sticky notes" attached)
• Cardboard, newspaper or fabric

Resolution, grayscale and contrast

Reviewing resolution and grayscale
• Normal resolution (indicated if neither the
light is on) — Suitable for most typed documents and
HALFTONE
simple drawings.
• Fine resolution ( on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately
FINE
complicated drawings, financial or hand-written documents.
• Superfine resolution ( - on the control panel; "S Fine" on the display)
S FINE
reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.
• Grayscale mode ( on the control panel; "Gray" on the display)
HALFTONE
captures 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.
Note: If making a copy, you may select only the Superfine or Grayscale resolution.
To change the resolution setting, press

Contrast
Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or
darkness, as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.
To change the contrast setting:
