Set document resolution and contrast for a single copy

Document resolution and contrast are set in the same manner for both faxes and copies. For most faxes and copies, default settings will work well.

If you need to send/copy a document with unusual contrast characteristics, including images/embedded pictures, you can adjust the resolution and contrast for that document using the control panel buttons.

_,'-TIP:You can also change the default settings for all documents using the menu. See BASIC FAX menu on page 13.
