Scan Settings

You may want to send many different
types of fax messages. Some of these
may be difficult to reproduce at the
receiver's end. However, your ma-
chine has three settings that you can
adjust to help you transmit your doc-
ument with the best possible image
quality.

Resolution:

Standard, Detail, Fine
Original Type:
Text, Photo
Image Density (Contrast):
Manual Image Density (five levels)
Resolution
Images and text are scanned into the
machine by converting them to se-
quences of dots. The density of the
dots determines the quality of the im-
age and how long it takes to transmit.
Therefore, images scanned at high
resolution (Fine) have high quality
but transmission takes longer. Con-
versely, low resolution (Standard)
scanning results in lower quality but
your original is sent more quickly. Se-
lect the setting that matches your
needs based upon this trade off be-
tween speed and image clarity.
Standard (8 x 3.85 lines/mm, 200 x 100
dpi)
Select for originals containing nor-
mal size characters.
Detail (8 x 7.7 lines/mm, 200 x 200 dpi)
Select for originals containing
small characters or when you re-
quire greater clarity. This resolu-
tion is twice as fine as Standard.
Fine (8 x 15.4 lines/mm, 200 x 400 dpi)
Select for originals with fine details
or when you require the best possi-
ble image clarity. This resolution is
four times finer than Standard.
Limitation
If the other party's machine does
not support the resolution at
which you are sending, this ma-
chine automatically switches to a
resolution that is supported. You
can check the resolution at which
you sent actually. See p.19 "Print-
ing the Journal", Facsimile Reference
<Advanced Features> .
Transmission at Fine resolution is
possible with originals of A4,
1
8 / " 11" and smaller. Even if you
2
select the Fine resolution for the
original exceeding A4, 8
the resolution type is forcibly
changed to Detail.
In Internet Fax transmission, if the
destination is not set in full mode,
the original is scanned using De-
tail, even if you select [Fine].
Note
The machine supports Standard,
Detail, and Fine resolutions.
The resolution type selected as
soon as the machine is turned on or
modes cleared is set to [Standard].
