Fax Options - Lexmark X850E User Manual

Fax options

Original—Opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to fax.
• Touching any of the paper size buttons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the
Fax Options Screen.
• When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan different size original documents (letter and legal size
pages). They will be scaled automatically to fit the selected output media size.
Content—Used to select the type of document you are scanning (for example, Text, Text/Photo, or Photo). Content affects
the quality and size of your scan by selecting how the scanner will handle the information on the original document.
• The Text setting will emphasize sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background.
The Text/Photo setting is used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures.
• The Photo setting tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting emphasizes a
reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases the amount of information
saved and possibly increases transmission time.
Sides—Lets you inform the MFP if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both
sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the fax.
Resolution—Lets you control how closely the scanner examines the document you wish to fax. If you are faxing a
photograph, a drawing with fine lines, or a document with very small text, increase the Resolution setting. This will increase
the amount of time required for the scan and will increase the quality of the fax output. Standard is suitable for most
documents. Fine is recommended for documents with small print. Super fine is recommended for original documents with
fine detail. Ultra fine is recommended for documents with pictures or photographs.
Darkness—Lets you adjust how light or dark your faxes will turn out in relation to the original document.
Advanced Options—Lets you access the Delayed Send, Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Transmission Log, Scan
Preview, Edge Erase, Advanced Duplex, or Fax Queue settings.
Delayed Send—Lets you set up a fax that will be sent at a later time or date. After setting up your fax, select
Delayed Send, enter the time and date you would like to transmit your fax, and then touch Done. This setting can
be especially useful in sending information to fax lines that are not readily available during certain hours, or when
transmission times are cheaper.
Note: If the device is powered off when the delayed fax is due to be sent, the fax is sent the next time the
MFP is powered up.
Advanced Imaging—Lets you adjust Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you copy the
document.
Custom Job (Job Build)—Lets you combine multiple scanning jobs into a single job.
Note: Custom Job is not supported on all models.
Transmission Log—Lets you print the transmission log or transmission error log.
Scan Preview—Displays the image before it is included in the fax. When a page is scanned, the scanning is
paused and a preview image appears.
Note: Scan Preview is not supported on all models.
Edge Erase—Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your document. You can choose to
eliminate an equal area around all four sides of the paper or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase
whatever is within the area selected, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.
Advanced Duplex—Controls how many sides and what orientation your original document has, and whether your
original documents are bound along the long edge or the short edge.
