Which documents to use
In order to avoid transmission errors you must use good quality, legible originals. Therefore, keep to the following
guidelines:
Minimum size: Maximum size:
Width: 148 mm Width: 217 mm
Length: 105 mm Length: 600 mm
Thickness: 0.05 mm Thickness: 0.15 mm
(60 g paper) (120 g paper)
Write clearly and legibly. Only use pens with dark ink (black/dark-blue, not yellow/orange/light green). Printed documents
work best.
The following points are the most common causes of errors when sending faxes!
Don’t send:
Pages from newspapers (printer’s ink).
Stapled pages or pages held together with paperclips. Remove all staples and clips before
sending.
Creased or torn pages.
Wet pages or pages with corrections made with correction fluid; dirty pages or pages with a
glossy or laminated surface.
Pages joined with sticky tape or glue, with adhesive stickers such as “post-it
®
” notes, or pages
which are too thin or too thick.
Pages written in faint pencil, crayon, chalk or artist’s charcoal.
Take the first page of the document and place it face up as shown in the picture.
Slide the document into the fax along the document guide on the left hand side of the
feed slot until it stops. Wait for a moment: The document will now be slightly drawn in
automatically by the feeding mechanism. Once the document has been drawn in by
the feeding mechanism, it should not be pushed in any further, otherwise the top part
will be missing when you make a copy or transmit a fax.
Documents shorter or smaller than specified risk getting stuck in the machine.
