Scan Settings

Scan Settings

You may want to send many different types of fax messages. Some of these may be difficult to reproduce at the receiver's end. However, your machine has three settings that you can adjust to help you transmit your document with the best possible image quality.

Resolution:

Standard, Detail, Fine

Original Type:

Text, Photo

Image Density (Contrast):

Manual Image Density (five levels)

Resolution

Images and text are scanned into the machine by converting them to sequences of dots. The density of the dots determines the quality of the image and how long it takes to transmit. Therefore, images scanned at high resolution (Fine) have high quality but transmission takes longer. Con- versely, low resolution (Standard) scanning results in lower quality but your original is sent more quickly. Select the setting that matches your needs based upon this trade off between speed and image clarity.

Standard (8 x 3.85 lines/mm, 200 x 100 dpi)

Select for originals containing nor- mal size characters.

Detail (8 x 7.7 lines/mm, 200 x 200 dpi)

Select for originals containing small characters or when you re- quire greater clarity. This resolu- tion is twice as fine as Standard.

Fine (8 x 15.4 lines/mm, 200 x 400 dpi)

Select for originals with fine details

or when you require the best possi-

 

ble image clarity. This resolution is

 

four times finer than Standard.

Limitation

 

If the other party's machine does not support the resolution at which you are sending, this ma- chine automatically switches to a resolution that is supported. You can check the resolution at which you sent actually. See p.21 “Print- ing the Journal”, Facsimile Reference <Advanced Features> .

Transmission at Fine resolution is

possible with originals of A4, 81/2"⋅11" and smaller. Even if you

select the Fine resolution for the original exceeding A4, 81/2"⋅11", the resolution type is forcibly changed to Detail.

In Internet Fax transmission, if the destination is not set in full mode, the original is scanned using De- tail, even if you select [Fine].

Note

The machine supports Standard, Detail, and Fine resolutions.

The resolution type selected as soon as the machine is turned on or modes cleared is set to [Standard].
