Spanish term or phrase: simple fax

"Carpetas: Impresas simple Fax con solapa"

It's part of a table concerning office equipment a company needs to buy. I just want to be sure what it's referring to. In particular I'm not sure what "simple Fax" means. Is it just that they mean standard size paper which could be used for fax machines? This would relate to A4 size in English. My attempt would be:

"Folders: A4 size with tabs"

The original is from Argentina, and should be in US English.

3 hrs confidence:

single-sided A4

Explanation:
I interpret "simple" as modifying "impresas"--single printed.

What I am not sure about is whether it means single color, or single-sided.
I'm inclined to think is the latter.

("simple" often means "single").
