Scan Settings

You may want to send many different
types of fax messages. Some of these
may be difficult to reproduce at the
other end. However, your machine
has two settings that you can adjust to
2
help you transmit your fax message
with the best possible image quality.

❖ Resolution:

Standard, Detail, Super Fine, Ex-
tra Super Fine
❖ Original Type:
Halftone, Color Scan (Option for
Type1)
Note
❒ You can set whether the machine
returns to the same settings after
the power is turned on with the
User Parameters (switch 01, bit 7).
See p.139 "User Parameters", Ad-
vanced Features .
Resolution
Images and text are scanned into the
machine by converting them to a se-
quence of dots. The frequency of dots
determines the quality of the image
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 (Stan-
dard) scanning results in less quality
but faster transmission. Choose the
setting that matches your needs
based upon this trade off between
speed and image clarity.
❖ Standard (8 × 3.85 lines/mm, 200 ×
100 dpi)
Select for originals containing nor-
mal sized characters.
44
❖ Detail (8 × 7.7 lines/mm, 200 × 200 dpi)
Select for originals containing
small characters or when you re-
quire greater clarity. This resolu-
tion is twice as fine as Standard.

Select when you use the scanner
function. For details, see Chapter3,

Note
❒ To select 300 × 300 dpi, the NIC
FAX unit (Option for Type1) is
required.

400 dpi)
This is suitable for originals with

olution is eight times as fine as
