Beyond the basics

Getting everything just the way you want it

The EasyStart feature guided you through the “just-gotta” settings on your machine. In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings.

Setting up for scans

You can set parameters regarding how your fax machine scans documents for either faxing or copying:

Primary transmission mode — Gives you four ways to send faxes, either one of the three resolution modes — normal, fine or superfine (“S Fine” on the LCD)

— or in grayscale mode (“Gray”).

Primary contrast mode — Sets how light or dark you want faxed documents to be when they arrive at their destinations.

Scanning width (F-150 only) — Set how wide an area your fax machine scans per page.

1 Press /PROGRAM, J, 0, 1, ENTER. The LCD asks which resolution you select:

Primary: Normal

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

2

To change the setting, press or /PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen

 

mode appears. In this example, we’ve chosen fine resolution.

Primary: Fine

Program/Enter

3 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD asks which contrast setting you select:

Contrast: Normal

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 5.

Otherwise, proceed to step 4.

4

To change the setting, press or /PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen

 

setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen light contrast.

Contrast: Light

Program/Enter

If your machine is either an F-120 or F-100, skip to step 7.

If your machine is an F-150, proceed to step 5.

5 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD asks which scanning width you select:

Scan Width: A4

Program/Enter

For most uses, “A4” is the proper setting; it scans the central 8.2″ of each page. However, for documents of unusual width, you may wish to use the “B4” setting, which scans the central 9.9″ of each page. (See “A4, B4, A3” in the Glossary beginning on page 3.17.)

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 7.

Otherwise, proceed to step 6.

6

To change the setting, press or /PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen

 

setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen “B4”.

Scan Width: B4

Program/Enter

7 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Of course, you always can change the resolution and contrast before sending. (You can change the scanning width only through the previously described procedure.)

To adjust the resolution and contrast:

Press RESOLUTION to change the resolution.

Press CONTRAST to change the contrast.
