Faxing

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
2
adjust to help you transmit your doc-
ument with the best possible image
quality.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Resolution:
Standard, Detail, Super Fine (op-
tional)
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Original Type:
Text, Text/Photo, Photo
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Image Density (Contrast):
Auto Image Density, Manual Im-
age Density (seven levels), Com-
bined Auto and Manual Image
Density

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 (Super Fine) have high
quality but transmission takes longer.
Conversely, low resolution (Stand-
ards) scanning results in lower quali-
ty but your original is sent more
quickly. Select the setting that match-
es your needs based upon this trade
off between speed and image clarity.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Standard (8 x 3.85 lines/mm, 200 x 100
dpi)
Select for originals containing nor-
mal size characters.
30
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ 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.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Super Fine (optional expansion mem-
ory required: 16 x 15.4 lines/mm, 400
x 400 dpi)
Select for originals with very fine
details or when you require the
best possible image clarity. This
resolution is eight 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.154 "Print-
ing the Journal", Facsimile Reference
<Advanced Features>
❒ Sending with Super Fine resolu-
tion requires that your machine
has the optional expansion memo-
ry, and the other party's machine
has the capability to receive fax
messages at Super Fine resolution.
Note
❒ The machine supports Standard,
Detail, and (with the optional ex-
pansion memory) Super Fine reso-
lutions.
