Faxing

Understanding fax options

Original: Opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to fax.

•Touching any of the paper size buttons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the Fax Options Screen.

•When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan different size original documents (letter and legal size pages). They will be scaled automatically to fit the selected output media size.

Content: Used to select the type of document you are scanning (for example, Text, Text/Photo, or Photo). Content affects the quality and size of your scan by selecting how the scanner will handle the information on the original document.

•The Text setting will emphasize sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background.

The Text/Photo setting is used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures.

•The Photo setting tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting takes longer to scan but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases the amount of information saved.

Sides: Informs the MFP if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the fax.

Resolution: Increases how closely the scanner examines the document you wish to fax. If you are faxing a photograph, a drawing with fine lines, or a document with very small text, increase the Resolution setting. This will increase the amount of time required for the scan and will increase the quality of the fax output. Standard is suitable for most documents. Fine is recommended for documents with small print. Super fine is recommended for original documents with fine detail. Ultra fine is recommended for documents with pictures or photographs.

Darkness: Adjusts how light or dark your faxes will turn out in relation to the original document.

Advanced Options: Accesses the Delayed Send, Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Transmission Log, Scan Preview, Edge Erase, Advanced Duplex, or Fax Queue settings.

Delayed Send: Sets up a fax that will be sent at a later time or date. After setting up your fax, select Delayed Send, enter the time and date you would like to transmit 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 device is powered off when the delayed fax is due to be sent, the fax is sent the next time the MFP is powered up.

Advanced Imaging: Select this feature to adjust Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you copy 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 a page is scanned, the scanning is paused, and a preview image appears.

Edge Erase: Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your 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 printed on that portion of the paper.

Advanced Duplex: Controls how many sides and what orientation your original document has, and whether your original documents are bound along the long edge or the short edge.
