However, your OKIFAXcan transmit documents that have been subject to normalwear, such as documents with staple holes, letter foldsand minor corner folds.n If you are not sure how a document will fax, try making acopy first: load the document face down and press theCopy key.n If your documents are heavily bent, creased or torn, makea copy on a photocopier and send the copy instead.Document SizeAll documents must have a minimum width of 5.8" (148mm) and a minimum length of 5" (128 mm).
