LOADINGTHEFAXPAPER
Your fax prints by aprocesscalledthermal printing. The print head applies heat to
special paperwhich is chemicallytreated to change colourwhen heatedto acertain
level, and this creates the printedtext or image.

build-upof residue on the head. This is due to the different thermal reactive
characteristicsof each manufacturer’s paper.

copyingwill no longer be possible. To replace the paper,first take outthe old roll,
then loadthe new roll as described above.
