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 ( ) section
ADF
Single-sheet transmission
Maximum: 360 mm × 900 mm
Minimum: 120 mm × 100 mm
Flatbed scanner ( ) section
FBS
Maximum: 257 mm × 364 mm
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
• Pages with duplicating carbon on either side
• Credit cards or similar small, thick items
Multiple-sheet transmission
Maximum: 297 mm × 420 mm
Minimum: 148 mm × 105 mm
Resolution, greyscale and contrast
Reviewing resolution and greyscale
• Normal resolution (indicated if neither the
light is on) — Suitable for most typed documents and 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.
• Greyscale mode (
on the control panel; "Gray" on the display) captures
HALFTONE
shades in photographs 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 greyscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.
Note: If making a copy, you may select only the Superfine or Greyscale resolution.
HALFTONE
To change the resolution setting, press

is set for normal resolution. Otherwise, a glowing

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:
1. Press on the control panel. The display, or
