Set Document Resolution And Contrast For A Single Copy - HP 640 Fax series User Manual

Set document resolution and contrast for a single copy

Document resolution and contrast are set in the same manner for both faxes and copies.
For most faxes and copies, default settings will work well.
If you need to send/copy a document with unusual contrast characteristics, including
images/embedded pictures, you can adjust the resolution and contrast for that
document using the control panel buttons.
You can also change the default settings for all documents using the menu.
TIP:
See
BASIC FAX menu
We recommend you use documents with a high contrast, such as, documents printed
using a high quality printer, felt tip pen, black ink, or typewriter. The paper should be
white or very light, and of normal weight, not cardboard or onionskin.
Blue lines on a ruled pad don't fax well. For more information on the types of paper you
can use for documents, see
You must set the resolution and contrast before dialing the number.

• STANDARD works well for printed or typewritten originals with normal-sized

remote machine also has the SUPER FINE feature.
SUPER FINE mode is not used when sending documents scanned into memory

these methods, SUPER FINE will be changed back to FINE even though you selected
