Guidelines
Page sizes
While you’ll probably send normal-sized documents most of the time, it’s possible to
fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or one nearly 1 meter long.
The acceptable dimensions (width
× length) are:
S INGLE - SHEET TRANSMISSION M ULTIPLE - SHEET TRANSMISSION
Maximum: 280 mm × 900 mm Maximum: 257 mm × 364 mm
Minimum: 148 mm × 105 mm Minimum: 148 mm × 105 mm
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, greyscale and contrast
Reviewing resolution and greyscale:
• Normal resolution (“ NORM ” on the control panel) is suitable for most typed
documents and simple drawings.
• Fine resolution (“ FINE ” on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli-
cated drawings, floorplans or hand-written documents.
• Superfine resolution (“ S - FINE ” on the control panel, “S Fine” on the LCD )
reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.
• Greyscale mode (“ HALFTONE ” on the control panel; “Grey” on the LCD ) captures
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
greyscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.
Reviewing contrast:
You have three choices for the contrast setting:
•
Normal (“ NORM ” on the control panel) — Suited to most documents.
• 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 dialling
Some long-distance systems require dialling pauses, and pauses can also be useful
when you’re dialling through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause character, just press
REDIAL / PAUSE after you’ve dialled at least one
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,
REDIAL / PAUSE ,
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.
