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.

_,'-TIP:You can also change the default settings for all documents using the menu. See BASIC FAX menu on page 13.

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'tfax welt. For more information on the types of paper you can use for documents, see Document types and sizes on page 20.

_ NOTE: You must set the resolution and contrast before dialing the number.

1.Turn the page face down and insert it into the document feeder. For more information, see Load documents to fax or copy on page 5.

2.Press Resolution repeatedly to select the option you want:

•STANDARDworks well for printed or typewritten originals with normal-sized characters.

•£INE is good for documents containing a lot of detail.
