The numb[...]

1.12 Getting started Some guidelines How big — and small — your pages can be While you’ll probably be sending normal-sized documents most of the time, you can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or one nearly 3 feet long! To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are: S INGLE - SHEET TRANSMISSION M ULTIPLE - SHEE[...]

1.13 Getting started Changing the pause length The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long as ten seconds if necessary.
