Which documents to use
In order to avoid transmission errors you must use good quality, legible originals. Therefore, keep to the following
guidelines:
single letters: several letters:
Width: 148 - 217 mm Width: 148 - 217 mm
Length: 100 - 600 mm Length: 148 - 297 mm
Thickness: 0.05 - 0.2 mm Thickness: 0.08 - 0.12 mm
Write clearly and legibly. Only use pens with dark ink (black/dark-blue, not yellow/orange/light green). Printed
documents work best.
Documents shorter or smaller than specified risk getting stuck in the machine.
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 paper-clips. 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.
Feeding documents in
To avoid more than one page being fed at the same time, first fan out the stack
and then straighten it on a smooth surface.
