This chapter gives you information about using your machine as a fax machine.
This chapter includes:
• Sending a fax
• Receiving a fax
We recommend you to use traditional analog phone services (PSTN: public
switched telephone network) when connecting telephone lines to use Fax. If
you use other Internet services (DSL, ISDN, VolP), you can improve the
connection quality by using the Micro-filter. The Micro-filter eliminates
unnecessary noise signals and improves connection quality or Internet
quality. Since the DSL Micro-filter is not provided with the machine, contact
your Internet Service provider for use on DSL Micro-filter.

You cannot use this machine as a fax via the internet phone. For
more information ask the internet service provider.

Adjusting the document settings

Before starting a fax, change the following settings according to your
original's status to get the best quality.
Resolution
The default document settings produce good results when using typical
text-based originals. However, if you send originals that are of poor
quality, or contain photographs, you can adjust the resolution to produce
a higher quality Fax.
