7. CHOOSING SUIT ABLE MEDIA SUITABLE Originals Suitab le ffor or F axing Suitable Faxing Make sure that the originals you want to fax meet specifications and guidelines listed in this section. Siz e and Weight Size The size and weight of originals that you can load in the SPF (Single Pass Feeder) depend on whether you load one sheet at a time or several sheets at once.
Originals Suitable for Faxing Unsuitab le Originals Unsuitable General guidelines: • All clips, staples, and pins should be removed from originals before they are used. If these are not removed, they may damage the machine. • Ink, glue, and correction fluid on originals must be completely dry before using the originals with the machine. • Originals that are in some way dangerous to the internal mechanisms of the machine should not be used.
8. HO W TO USE THE F AX FUNCTION HOW FAX The standalone fax component of your machine offers a range of sophisticated features that allow you to control image quality, reception mode, broadcasting, polling, and transmission priorities. Functions such as sending originals from memory and substituting reception into memory are greatly enhanced by the large memory capacity. Sending Originals Setting the Original This section describes setting originals in the SPF or on the original table.
Sending Originals 4 There are two ways to send the fax: • To scan the original into memory, then dial and transmit, continue with the “Dialing and Transmitting” section. • To dial and transmit the original directly without first scanning it into memory, press the DOCUMENT key. “DIRECT SEND” will appear in the display. Continue with the “Dialing and Transmitting” section.
Sending Originals Optional Transmission Settings There are several transmission settings that you can make before dialing and transmitting an original. Resolution Your fax has four resolution settings: • HALF TONE Use HALF TONE for photographs and illustrations. The original will be reproduced in 256 shades of grey. • STANDARD Use STANDARD for ordinary originals. This setting gives you the fastest transmission.
Sending Originals Cover Sheet You can have your fax generate a cover sheet and send it as the last page of the transmission. The cover sheet includes the date and time, the sender’s name and number, and the receiver’s name and number if an automatic dialing number is used. The total number of pages sent is indicated on the bottom.
Sending Originals Auto Cover Sheet If you want to automatically send a cover sheet with each fax, use the Auto Cover Sheet function. This function differs from the Cover Sheet function in two ways. First, the Cover Sheet function must be programmed before each fax transmission is sent. Second, no message is included on the cover sheet generated by the Auto Cover Sheet function. Please note that the Cover Sheet function is considered the primary cover sheet of the two cover sheets generated by the machine.
Sending Originals Re ver se Sending Rever verse The SPF on this machine scans the original from the last page. For the machine to send the originals starting from the first page, Reverse Sending is initially set to “ON”. This function works only when the original is sent from memory. Note: In Reverse Sending mode, when you send a large number of originals and the memory becomes full, the originals already stored will be cancelled. In this kind of situation, it is recommended you send the original directly.
Sending Originals Dialing and Transmitting Once you have set the original (either in the SPF or on the original table), and have selected the desired transmission settings, you are ready to dial the number of the receiving fax machine and transmit the original.You can choose from one of the several ways of dialing that best suit your needs.
