As amended through August 14, 2024
Rule 10 - File Size Limitations and Legibility
(a)File Size Limitations. The Provider has set a maximum file size of 25 MB, and a maximum envelope size of 35 MB. A User must limit the size of each electronically filed document, and the total size of all the documents filed within one envelope, to comply with the maximum file size and envelope size permitted by the Provider. Documents exceeding those limits cannot be transmitted by the Provider.
(b)Submission of Oversized Documents. Documents or envelopes larger than the maximum allowed file size may be submitted for e-filing if they are broken up into separate segments, each of which complies with the Provider's size restrictions. The User shall indicate in the "Filing Description" field that a filing is part of multiple parts (for example, "Part I of 2"). The additional envelopes necessary to submit multiple parts may be filed under a waiver account, subject to review by the Pilot Court.
(c)Scan Settings. To minImIze file size, Users must configure their scanners to scan documents at 200 dpi and in black and white rather than in color. Documents appearing in color in their original form, such as color photographs, should be scanned in color.
(d)Users Must Verify Document Legibility and Orientation. A User must verify the legibility and orientation of scanned documents before submitting them for e-filing.
