Adjusting the Quality of Your Faxes

Canon’s Ultra High Quality (UHQ™) imaging technology enables you to send documents with image quality output similar to 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.

NOTE

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.

• Higher resolution produces higher output quality, but requires longer transmission time.
