Fax Mode Capabilities

When you scan to fax, your document will scan in at 100 dpi (dots per inch). You can fax black and white documents.

In order for faxing to function properly:

The printer must be connected to an active phone line.

The printer must be connected to a computer with a USB cable.

NOTE: If you are faxing over a telephone line connected to a DSL modem, install a DSL filter to avoid interference with the analog fax modem signal.

NOTE: You cannot fax with an ISDN (integrated services digital network) or cable modem. ISDN and cable modems are not fax modems and are not supported for faxing.

Print and Scan Mode Capabilities

Your printer can scan from 72 to 19,200 dpi. Although your printer has this capability, Dell recommends using the preset resolutions.
