Lexmark X642e manual FTP tips

Content: Tells the MFP the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Color can be turned on or off with any of the Content choices. Content affects the quality and size of your FTP file.

Text: Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background.

Text/Photo: Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures.

Photo: Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting takes longer to scan but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases the amount of information saved.

Color: Sets the scan type and output for the copy. Color documents can be scanned and sent to an FTP site, PC, or e-mail address. The MFP will print color documents in grayscale only.

Advanced Options: Accesses the Transmission Log, Edge Erase, or Darkness settings.

Transmission Log: Prints the transmission log or transmission error log.

Edge Erase: Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your document. You can choose to eliminate an equal area around all four sides, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is within the area selected and leave nothing printed on that portion of the paper.

Darkness: Adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out.
