Document types and sizes
The following document size is acceptable when you send a fax.
•
The minimum document size is 148 mm (5.8 in.) wide by 128 mm (5 in.) long.
•
The maximum size is 216 mm (8.5 in.) wide by 356 mm (14 in.) long.
Follow these tips to ensure worry-free faxing.
•
Be sure that your document is dry and free of staples, paper clips, and other
foreign objects.
•
If you are sending more than one sheet, make sure the bottom sheet enters first.
Insert the sheets with a slight push to ensure smooth feeding.
•
For multiple sheets, all pages of the document must be the same size and paper type.
•
If you are loading pages that are unusually thick or thin, feed one sheet at a time.
If the document does not feed correctly, open the control panel, remove the
document, and try loading it again.
