Adjusting the quality of your documents ______

Setting the scanning resolution

Resolution is a measure of the fineness or clarity of a printout. Low resolutions may cause text and graphics to have a jagged appearance, while higher resolutions provide smoother curves and lines, crisp text and graphics, and a better match to traditional typeface designs.

Using a higher resolution will increase the output quality, but will slow down the scanning speed.

1Load the document face up into the document tray.

See Loading documents, p. 3-2.

2Press [Resolution] to select the resolution.

You can select STANDARD, FINE or PHOTO.

After about 5 seconds, the fax returns to standby mode.

You can change the resolution setting while the document is being scanned for sending.

However, please note that your new setting will only affect the next page scanned.

Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed document. You can adjust the contrast your fax uses to send or copy documents, according to how light or dark your document is.
