Gah! Fax machine notation

[cKGunslinger]

Ok, the tray has a picture of a page with lines on it, and a fold in the top-right hand corner of the page. Does that mean the pages to be faxed should be face up or face down? 😕

does the lines appear on the paper? or on the fold?

If the folded over section has lines it face down.
If the lines are on the unfolded section, face up.

LOL - I'm pretty sure I just faxed 4 pages upside down. I guess I could fax them the other way just to be safe. I thought the fax receipt would show a portion of the page jsut faxed, but the receipt was blank except of the date/time stamp.

Why is it so hard to put "PLACE PAGES FACE-UP/FACE-DOWN" on the tray instead of that cryptic symbol.

yeah i hate fax machine. first it is the face up face down dilemma, next is whether i need to dial a 9. finally i can never tell whether it goes thru successfully.

Ok, that makes sense, then. But it's such a tiny fold..

I think it's because of translation. The same machine probably got sold in france too. However, I have seen products with multiple languages as instructions in the bottle. So I don't know...
