Preparing to Send a Fax

Documents You Can Fax

For information on the types of documents you can fax, their requirements, and details on loading documents, see Chapter 4.

Setting the Scanning Resolution

You can set the scanning resolution of documents you send. The higher the resolution the higher the output quality at the other end, but the slower the transmission speed. Adjust the scanning resolution according to the type of document you are sending.

If you are sending a document that requires some pages to be scanned at a different resolution from the others, you can change the resolution setting while the document is being scanned. However, please note that the new setting will only be effective from the next page scanned.

Follow this procedure to set the scanning resolution:
1 Press Resolution to select the resolution	Ex:
setting you want.

•You can select from the following:

–FAX STANDARD

Suitable for most text-only documents.

–FAX FINE

Suitable for fine-print documents.

–FAX PHOTO

FAX PHOTO

Suitable for documents that contain images such as photos. With this setting, areas of the document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 64 levels of grey, rather than just in black & white.

–SUPER FINE

Suitable for documents that contain fine print and images. This setting is four times the resolution of the FAX STANDARD setting.

2Continue with the operation you are performing.

•If you do not proceed with any other operation, the LCD returns to standby mode after about 10 seconds.
