Resolution, grayscale and contrast
Reviewing resolution and grayscale:
• Normal resolution is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.
• Fine resolution is ideal for maps, moderately complicated drawings, floorplans or
handwritten documents.
• Superfine resolution ("S-fine" on the
complicated drawings or line art.
• Grayscale mode (" " on the
PHOTO
Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non-
Pitney Bowes models) receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a
fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.
To change the resolution setting, press [Mode] repeatedly. It will toggle Normal,
Fine, S-Fine and PHOTO.
