• Normal paper
Documents handwritten in pencil (No. 2 lead or softer), fountain pen,
ball-point pen, or felt-tipped pen can be transmitted.
Documents of normal contrast duplicated by a copying machine can
also be transmitted.
• Diazo copy (blue print)
Diazo copy documents of a normal contrast may be transmitted.
• Carbon copy
A carbon copy may be transmitted if its contrast is normal.
4. Cautions on Transmitting Documents
• Documents written in yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink cannot
be transmitted.
• Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before the
documents can be transmitted.
• All clips, staples and pins must be removed from documents be-fore
transmission.
• Patched (taped) documents should be copied first on a copier and
then the copies used for transmission.
• All documents should be fanned before insertion into the feeder to
prevent possible double feeds.
