Faxing

Scan Settings

You may want to send many different
types of fax documents. Some of these
may be difficult to reproduce at the
receiver's end. However, the machine
has three settings that you can adjust
2
to help you transmit the document
with the best possible image quality.

❖ Resolution:

Standard, Detail, Super Fine (op-
tional)
❖ Original Type:
Text, Text / Photo, Photo
❖ Image Density (Contrast):
Auto Image Density, Manual Im-
age Density (seven levels), Com-
bined Auto and Manual Image
Density
Resolution
Images and text are scanned into the
machine by converting them to a se-
quence of dots. The density of the
dots determines the quality of the im-
age 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 lower quali-
ty but the original is sent more
quickly. Select the setting that match-
es your needs based upon this trade
off between speed and image clarity.
❖ Standard (8 x 3.85 lines/mm, 200 x 100
dpi)
Select for originals containing nor-
mal size characters.
34
❖ Detail (8 x 7.7 lines/mm, 200 x 200 dpi)
Select for originals containing
small characters or when you re-
quire greater clarity. This resolu-
tion is twice as fine as Standard.
❖ Super Fine (optional expansion mem-
ory required: 16 x 15.4 lines/mm, 400
x 400 dpi)
Select for originals with very fine
details or when you require the
best possible image clarity. This
resolution is eight times finer than
Standard.
Limitation
❒ If the other party's machine does
not support the resolution at
which you are sending, this ma-
chine automatically switches to a
resolution that is supported. You
can check the resolution at which
you actually sent. See p.162 "Print-
ing Journal", Facsimile Reference
<Advanced Features> .
❒ Sending with Super Fine resolu-
tion requires that the machine has
the optional expansion memory,
and the other party's machine has
the capability to receive fax docu-
ments at Super Fine resolution.
Note
❒ The machine supports Standard,
Detail, and (with the optional ex-
pansion memory) Super Fine reso-
lutions.
❒ You can select the resolution type
that is selected right after the ma-
chine is turned on or modes are
cleared with [Scan End Reset] under
Gen. Settings/ Adjust. See p.145
"General Settings/Adjustment",

tures> .
