PREPARING AND WADING AN ORIGINAL
Preparing an Original
Just as the appearance and readability of office copies is affected by the quality of the original, the quality
of the copy received at another facsimile machine is partly determined by the quality of the original docu-
ment you transmit. If you transmit a poor quality document, the received copy may be difficult to read. Here
are several tips to help you create good quality original documents, and to improve the quality of “second-
hand” documents you may use as originals.
Remove all staples and paper clips. They may cause the document to jam or you may damage the machine
If you are creating an original document:
l
use a felt-tip pen, or type the document
l
use black ink
l
use white or light colored paper
You can also use an office copier to piece together several small originals or make a standard size copy
of an original too small or too large to load in the transceiver.
The FINE resolution feature can often increase the quality of the document. If your machines FINE
resolution feature cannot compensate for an existing document that is difficult to read because of light
images or a dark background, make a copy of it on an office copier. Many copiers can compensate for
poor originals to give you a better original to transmit.
Set the Switch to PHOTO position if your document has colors or various shades of gray.
Loading an Original
Your personal facsimile transceiver will accept original documents with minimum dimensions of 7.1 inches
wide by 3 inches long, and maximum dimensions of 8.5 inches wide by enough length for 60 minutes.
Load documents as follows:
1. If IN USE LED is ON, the machine is ON and in Standby mode. If not, turn ON the POWER SWITCH.
2. Place the document FACE DOWN into the loading slot. The unit will grip the paper. The document is
now loaded and ready to be copied or transmitted.
NOTE: The Document Feeder can accept only one page at a time.
