sending in black and white. All color faxes will be sent using Fine resolution. The following resolution settings are available:

●Fine: provides high-quality text suitable for faxing most documents. This is the default setting.

●Very Fine: provides the best quality fax when you are faxing documents with very fine detail. If you choose Very Fine, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to complete and you can only send black-and-white faxes using this resolution. If you send a color fax, it will be sent using Fine resolution instead.

●Photo: 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: provides the fastest possible fax transmission with the lowest quality.

This setting returns to the default setting after the job has been completed, unless you set your changes as the default. For information, see Set new default settings.
