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 three settings that you can adjust

to help you transmit your original
with the best possible image quality.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Resolution:
Standard, Detail, Super Fine, Ex-
tra Super Fine
*1

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 your original is sent more quick-
ly. Choose the setting that matches
your needs based upon this trade off
between speed and image clarity.
The scanner function can be used
with NIC FAX Unit (Option for
Type1). When you use the scanner
function, you can choose 300x300dpi.
For details, see "Using Scanner Func-
tions" in the NIC FAX Unit manual.
