Sending a Fax

Preparing a Document

Here are some things you can to improve the quality of your faxed documents:
If your original is of poor quality, photocopy it. A copy often transmits better than the
original.
Send documents created by typewriter, felt tip pen, black ink, or laserwriter. The paper
should be white or very light and of normal weight - not cardboard. Blue lines on a
ruled pad don't fax well.
Press 4 or ) to adjust the brightness of a faxed document. You can select between
LIGHT, AUTO, and DARK:
LIGHT works with very dark print.
AUTO works well for normal handwritten, typed, or printed documents.
DARK works with light print or faint pencil markings.
Press MODE to increase sharpness and clarity.
FINE is good for documents containing a lot of detail.
SUPER FINE works well for documents containing extremely fine detail. (SUPER FINE
works only if the remote machine also has the SUPER FINE feature).
PHOTO is used to fax photographs or graphics which may consist of color or shades of
gray. Although the machine will not send colors, it can print and send up to 32 shades
of gray, resulting in a satisfactory picture at the receiving machine. When PHOTO is
selected, and the machine is set to 32 shades of gray, SUPER FINE resolution is
automatically selected. If your machine is set to transmit 16 shades of gray, it sets the
resolution to FINE.
