Entering settings for your fax machine

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

Scan settings

Three different settings tell your machine how to scan documents:

• Primary resolution mode — Sets the resolution for your documents. Choose either normal, fine, superfine (“S Fine” on the LCD) or greyscale mode (“Gray”).

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

• Scanning width — Sets how wide an area your machine scans for each page. To set these modes:

1	Press		/PROGRAM, J, 0, 1, ENTER. The LCD asks you to select a resolution:
		Primary:		Normal
			Program/Enter
2
	Press		or /PROGRAM until the mode you want appears. In this example,
	we’ve chosen fine resolution.
		Primary:		Fine
			Program/Enter
3
	Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD asks you to select a contrast setting:

Contrast: Normal

Program/Enter

4	Press or /PROGRAM until the mode you want appears. In this example,
	we’ve chosen light contrast.
		Contrast:	Light
		Program/Enter
5
	Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD asks you to select a scanning width:

Scan Width: B4

Program/Enter

For most uses, “ A4” is the proper setting. It scans the central 208 mm of each page. But for documents with an unusual width, you may want to use the “ B4” setting, which scans the central 252 mm of each page. (See “ A4, B4” in the Glossary on page 3.15.)

6	Press or /PROGRAM until the mode you want appears. In this example,
	we’ve chosen “A4”.

Scan Width: A4

Program/Enter

7 Press ENTER to save the setting.

By following the steps above, you’ve set your defaults for scanning. Before sending documents, you can “override” these default scan settings for that transmission.

To override the default resolution and contrast settings before sending a document:

•Press RESOLUTION to change the resolution.

•Press CONTRAST to change the contrast.

Once your document is transmitted, your machine returns to its default settings.
