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 x length) are:
Automatic document feeder (ADF) section
Single-sheet transmission
Maximum: 12.0" x 35.4"
Minimum: 4.7" x 3.9"
Flatbed scanner (FBS) section
Maximum: 10.1" x 14.3"

Things not to put in your fax

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

Resolution, grayscale and contrast

Reviewing resolution and grayscale
• Normal resolution (indicated if neither the FINE light, S-FINE light
nor HALFTONE light is on) — Suitable for most typed documents and
simple drawings.
• Fine resolution (FINE on the control panel) is ideal for maps,
moderately complicated drawings, financial or handwritten documents.
• Superfine resolution (S-FINE on the control panel; "S Fine" on the
display) reproduces the details of extremely complicated drawings or
line art.
• Grayscale mode (HALFTONE on the control panel; "Gray" on the
display) captures shades in photos and drawings.
Multiple-sheet transmission
Maximum: 11.7" x 16.5"
Minimum: 5.8" x 4.1"
