Faxing: Basic Operations
This chapter explains how to load documents for
faxing, how to send and receive faxes, how to use
the closed network and voice request features, and
how your OKIFAX handles power interruptions.
Preparing Documents for Faxing
Use the information in this section to make sure your
documents scan and fax easily and clearly.
Guidelines
■ Try to use good quality documents for your fax
transmissions. Documents that are typed or written
with a black felt-tip pen on white (or light) paper
work best.
■ Do not send documents which are not rectangular.
■ Never use documents that have wet or sticky
surfaces, wrinkles, staples, or paper clips. However,
your OKIFAX can transmit documents that have been
subject to normal wear, such as documents with
staple holes, letter folds and minor corner folds.
■ If you are not sure how a document will fax, try
making a copy first: load the document face down
and press the Copy key.
■ If your documents are heavily bent, creased or torn,
make a copy on a photocopier and send the copy
instead.
Document Size
All documents must have a minimum width of 5.8"
(148 mm) and a minimum length of 5" (128 mm).
Documents cannot be wider than 8.5" (216 mm) or
longer than 14" (356 mm).
Note: Your OKIFAX can be set to accept documents of
unlimited length—see your Authorized OKIFAX Dealer..
Multiple Page Documents
Your OKIFAX can scan paper with a basis weight
between 13 pounds (50 g/m
2 ) and 28 pounds (105
g/m
2
). You can load up to 30 sheets of standard 20-
pound (80 g/m
2
) paper, such as photocopier paper.
If you use lighter or heavier paper, you can load up
to 15 sheets. For very heavy paper, load and send
pages individually.
