Sending faxes

Guidelines

Page sizes
While you'll probably send letter- and legal-sized documents most of the time, it's
possible to fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or one nearly 3 feet long.
The acceptable dimensions (width length) are:

Things not to put in your fax
To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, 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 any small, thick items
Resolution, grayscale and contrast
Reviewing resolution and grayscale:
• Normal resolution ("

NORM
documents and simple drawings.
• Fine resolution ("
" on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli-
FINE
cated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.
• Superfine resolution ("

• Grayscale mode ("

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

• Light — Lightens up overly dark, "muddy" original documents.
• Dark — Darkens weak, "washed-out" images.
Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just remember —
"Light lightens" and "Dark darkens" — to keep it straight.

Entering a pause character when dialing
Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses can also be useful
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 entered lasts for a factory-set two seconds (see "Changing the pause
length," next page, for instructions to change this setting).
For example, if the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9,
19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.
Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you're allowed in a number.
