change the fax resolution

The Fax Resolution setting affects the transmission speed and quality of faxed black-and-white documents. The HP Officejet only sends faxes at the highest resolution supported by the receiving fax machine. You can only change the fax resolution for faxes that you are sending in black and white. All color faxes will be sent using Fine resolution. The following Fax Resolution settings are available:

•Fine: this is the default setting. It provides high-quality text suitable for faxing most documents.

•Very Fine: use this setting when you are faxing documents with very fine detail. If you choose this option, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to complete and you can only send black-and-white faxes.

•Photo: this setting provides the best quality fax when sending photographs. If you choose Photo, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to complete. When faxing photographs, we recommend that you choose Photo.

•Standard: this setting provides the fastest possible transmission with the lowest quality of fax.
