    About Paper
    The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in 
    the fax machine. You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy 
    paper, transparencies and envelopes.  We recommend testing various papers 
    before purchasing large quantities.  For best results, use the recommended 
    paper. 
    To ensure the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the 
    Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.
    Handling and Using Special Paper
    Store paper in the original bag, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away 
    from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
    The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Do not touch the shiny (coated) side. 
    Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing up toward you.
    Do not touch either side of transparencies, because they absorb water and 
    perspiration easily and may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies 
    designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only 
    recommended transparencies.
    Recommended Paper for the FAX-1800C
    Plain Paper: Xerox 4200
    Inkjet Paper: KODAK
    ® Premium Inkjet Paper (Matte)
    Glossy Paper: JETPRINT PHOTO
    ®
    Graphic image paper — Gloss Finish
    Transparencies: 3M Transparency Film (CG3410)
    NoteWhen using inkjet paper, glossy paper or transparencies, avoid stacking by 
    removing each page after copying or receiving faxes.
    NoteThe output quality depends on the paper type and paper brand.

    44On-Screen Programming
    User-Friendly Programming
    We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming using 
    navigation keys. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all 
    the menu selections your fax machine has to offer.
    Since your programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen 
    prompts to help you program your fax machine. All you need to do is follow the 
    prompts as they guide you through the menu selections and programming 
    options. Additionally, you can program settings more quickly by pressing 
    Menu/Set and the menu number using the dial pad.
    Menu Selection Table
    You can probably perform most of these programming operations without the 
    Owner’s Manual. To help you understand the menu selections, and options that 
    are found in the fax machine programs, use the Menu Selection Table on page 
    4-3.
    Alternating Displays
    Sometimes, the LCD alternates between the active setting, and a help message 
    giving brief instructions about how to proceed.  The LCD message you’ll 
    probably see most often is shown below. When you place an original in the 
    ADF, it appears to tell you that you can dial a number to send a fax or you can 
    make a copy.
    NoteYou can program your fax machine by pressing Menu/Set followed by the 
    menu numbers. For example: to set FAX RESOLUTION to FINE, 
    press Menu/Set, 2, 2, 2  and   to select FINE, and then press Menu/Set.
