C o n t r o l l i n g T r a n s m i s s i o n Q u a l i t y
Preparing a Good Original
To prevent jamming and ensure good
results on the receiving fax machine:
l Remove all staples, clips, and tape from
the original documents.
l If you must re-fax a document that was
faxed to you, we recommend that you
make a copy of it on a regular office
copier, and fax the copy for better
transmission quality.
To create good quality original
documents, do the following:
l Type them instead of writing.
l When writing, use a felt-tip pen and
black ink.
l Use white paper.
Do not try to send documents that are:
l Wet or damp
l Covered with wet ink or paste
l Too thin (such as onionskin, airmail
paper, or pages from a magazine)
l Chemically p r o c e s s e d ( s u c h a s
pressure-sensitive paper or carbon-
coated paper)
l Coated (such as glossy paper)
l Too small or short (such as a label or
card)
l Made of cloth or metal
Use an office copier to piece together
several small originals or m a k e a
standard size copy of an original too
small to load in your unit.
