Preparing to Send a Fax

Before you can send a fax, you need to load the document into the MultiPASS C50's Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). For instructions and information about the types of documents the MultiPASS C50 can scan, see ºTypes of Documents You Can Scanº on page 6-2.

Setting the Scanning Resolution

Canon's Ultra High Quality (UHQTM) imaging technology enables you to send faxes with a print quality that is very close to that of the original document. The MultiPASS C50 also lets you adjust the resolution it uses in sending faxes to best suit your particular document.

The MultiPASS C50 has three resolution settings:

JSTANDARD resolution (8 pels/mm × 3.85 lines/mm) is adequate for most text documents.

JFINE resolution (8 pels/mm × 7.7 lines/mm) is suitable for documents with ®ne print (smaller than the print in this sentence).

JPHOTO resolution (8 pels/mm × 7.7 lines/mm, with halftones) is for documents that contain photographs. With this setting, areas of the document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 64 levels of grey, rather than just two (black and white). This gives a much better reproduction of the photos, though transmission time is longer.

 

Set the resolution as follows:

RESOLUTION

1. Press RESOLUTION.

 

J The LCD display shows the current scanning resolution.

 

STANDARD

 

When the RESOLUTION button is pressed, the LCD display shows the current

 

resolution for about ®ve seconds before returning to standby mode.
