Instructions Using the Photocopier
1 Read the instruction manual provided for the photocopier. Locate the power switch and turn the machine on. Allow sufficient time for the machine to warm up; older machines can take more time than newer models.
2 Lift the cover and place the document you wish to copy face down on the glass. Take care to position it properly; most photocopiers have markings showing where to place documents. Lower the cover and, using the control panel, select the number of copies you wish to make. Push "start" and the copying should commence.
3Use the automatic feed on your copier to copy documents several pages in length. Following the guide next to the feed, position your stack of documents; many photocopiers auto-feed documents face up. See if your photocopier has options for automatically collating and stapling your documents -- most newer models do. Select these options on the digital display, press "start," and your stack of documents will be photocopied, collated and stapled for you.
Using a fax machine
4 Read the manufacturer's instructions. Check that the fax machine is plugged into a power source and a phone jack before turning it on. Get the fax number for the destination of the fax you are sending. Arrange the documents you are sending in order.
5 Fill out a coversheet for your fax; this will contain the recipient's name and fax number, the name of your boss or office, the fax number for your office, a short message to the recipient and the number of pages, including the coversheet.
6 Position the documents face up in the feeder tray. Dial the recipient's fax number. Press "send' or "fax" to send the document, depending on the machine you are using.
7 Ensure that there's plenty of ink in your machine's toner cartridge and that there's plenty of paper, so you can receive a fax smoothly. Wait for the phone to ring, but do not answer it; this indicates a fax is coming in. Listen for the "handshake" tones that tell you the sender's fax machine and your fax machine are communicating. Watch your fax machine start printing and wait until the entire document has come through.
8 Check the number of pages you received against the number given on the cover sheet to be sure the whole fax has come through. Contact the sender to confirm receipt of this document.
