Improving Fax Quality - Lexmark 734de - X Color Laser User Manual

Advanced Options
Touching this button opens a screen where you can change Delayed Send, Advanced Imaging, Custom Job,
Transmission Log, Scan Preview, Edge Erase, and Advanced Duplex settings.
•
Delayed Send—Lets you send a fax at a later time or date. After setting up your fax, touch Delayed Send, enter
the time and date you would like to send 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 printer is turned off when the delayed fax is scheduled to be sent, the fax is sent the next time the
printer is turned on.
•
Advanced Imaging—Adjusts Background Removal, Contrast, Scan Edge to Edge, Shadow Detail, and Mirror
Image before you fax the document
•
Custom Job (Job Build)—Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job
•
Transmission Log—Prints the transmission log or transmission error log
•
Scan Preview—Displays the image before it is included in the fax. When the first page is scanned, the scanning
is paused, and a preview image appears.
•
Edge Erase—Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of a 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 on that portion of the scan.
•
Advanced Duplex—Controls how many sides and what orientation an original document has, and whether
original documents are bound along the long edge or the short edge
Note: Some Advanced Duplex options may not be available on all printer models.

When should I use Photo mode?
Tip
•
Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the fax, and
preserving images copied from the original document is not a concern.
•
Text mode is recommended for faxing receipts, carbon copy forms, and
documents that contain only text or fine line art.
•
Use Text/Photo mode when faxing an original document that contains a
mixture of text and graphics.
•
Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics,
and brochures.
Use Photo mode when faxing photos printed on a laser printer or taken from a
magazine or newspaper.
