3. Document Types
•
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.
•

•

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.
5. Automatic Document Feeder Capacity
Number of pages that can be placed into the feeder at anytime is as
follows:
Normal size: max. 50 sheets (14 lbs – 20 lbs)

NOTES:
•
When you need to send or copy more pages than the
feeder limit, place additional pages in feeder when last

result.
