Muratec MFX-1500 manual Getting everything just the way you want it, Setting up for scans

Beyond the basics

Getting everything just the way you want it

The EasyStart feature (see pages 1.18–1.20) guided you through the basic settings on your machine. In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings.

Setting up for scans

You can set three parameters regarding how your machine scans documents for faxing.

•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 display) — 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.

•Scanner width — Sets how wide an area your fax machine scans per page.

Note: This setting doesn’t affect copies you may make with your machine.

1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

2. Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 1, ENTER. The display asks which resolution you wish to select:

Primary: Normal

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

3. To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen mode appears. In this example, we’ve chosen fine resolution.

Primary: Fine

Program/Enter

4. Press ENTER to save the setting. The display asks which contrast setting you wish to select:

Contrast: Normal

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 6.

Otherwise, proceed to step 5.

5. To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen mode appears. In this example, we’ve chosen light contrast.

Contrast: Light

Program/Enter

6. Press ENTER to save the setting. The display asks which scanning width you wish to 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” and

“ A3” settings, which scan the central 9.9 ″ and 11.6″, respectively, of each page. (See “ A4, B4, A3” in the Glossary beginning on page 3.18.)

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 8. Otherwise, proceed to step 7.

7.To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen “ B4.”

Scan Width: B4

Program/Enter

8. 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):

∙Press RESOLUTION to change the resolution.

∙Press CONTRAST, then press or to change the contrast.
