document types and sizes

Acceptable document size depends on whether you are faxing a single sheet or multiple
pages.
• The minimum document size is 148mm (5.8in) wide by 128mm (5in) long.
• The maximum size is 216mm (8.5in) wide by 356mm (14in) long.
Follow these tips to ensure worry-free faxing.
• Be sure that your document is dry and free of staples, paper clips, and other foreign
objects.
• For more information on what kind of paper you can use for documents, see
acceptable documents on page 43.
• If you are sending more than one sheet, make sure the bottom sheet enters first. Insert
the sheets with a slight push to ensure smooth feeding.
• For multiple sheets, all pages of the document must be the same size and paper type.
• If you are loading pages that are unusually thick or thin, feed one sheet at a time. If the
document does not feed correctly, open the front panel, remove the document, and try
loading it again.
DO NOT try to send documents that are:
• wet
• covered with wet ink or paste
• wrinkled, curled, or folded
• too thin (less than 0.07mm (0.18in) thick—onionskin, airmail paper, etc.)
• too thick (more than 0.15mm (0.38in) thick—index cards, file folders)
• chemically processed (pressure-sensitive paper, carbon-coated paper, etc.)
• coated (glossy, etc.)
• too small or short (such as a label, voucher, etc.)
• made of cloth or metal
To send these documents, use an office copier to make a photocopy first, and then send the
copy.

set document resolution and contrast for a single copy

Document resolution and contrast are set in the same manner for both faxes and copies. For
most faxes and copies, default settings will work well.
If you need to send/copy a document with unusual contrast characteristics, including
photographs, you can adjust the resolution and contrast for that document using the front
panel buttons.
Tip! You can also change the default settings for all documents using the menu. See
Resolution on page 31 and see Contrast on page 31.
We recommend you use documents printed using a high quality printer, felt tip pen, black
ink, or typewriter. The paper should be white or very light, and of normal weight, not
cardboard or onionskin.
Blue lines on a ruled pad don't fax well. For more information on the types of paper you can
use for documents, see document types and sizes on page 20.
Note: You must set the resolution and contrast before dialing the number.
