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, → Reference Guide.

■Adjusting the Quality of Your Faxes

Canon’s Ultra High Quality (UHQ™) imaging technology enables you to send documents that are very close to the quality of the original. The machine allows you to adjust the resolution and contrast to best suit your particular document.

• Please note that you cannot change settings while your machine is scanning a document.

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.

• The higher the resolution, the higher the output quality, but the longer the transmission time.
