Improving Faxed Images

There are several settings that allow you to improve the quality of faxed documents.

Adjusting the Image Quality (Fax Resolution)

1 Press [Image Quality].

2 Press [] or [] to select the resolution ➞ press [Set].

Ex:	IMAGE QUALITY	➞	Ex:	1 2/03/ 2	0 0 3 WED 1 5 : 1 0

You can select from the following:

-<FINE> for ﬁne-print documents
