SCAN SETTINGS

SCAN SETTINGS

You may wish to send many different types of fax message. Some of these may be difficult to reproduce at the other 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, Super Fine (op- tion)

❖Image density:

Auto Image Density, Manual Im- age Density (5 levels)

❖Original type:

Text, Text·Photo, Photo

Resolution

Images and text are scanned into the machine by converting them to se- quences of dots. The frequency of dots determines the quality of the im- age and how long it takes to transmit. Therefore, images scanned at high resolution (Super Fine) have high quality but transmission takes longer. Conversely, low resolution (Stan- dard) scanning results in less quality but your original is sent more quick- ly. Choose the setting that matches your needs based upon this trade off between speed and image clarity.

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

Select for originals containing nor- mal sized characters.

❖Detail (8 × 7.7 lines/mm, 200 × 200 dpi)

Select for originals containing small characters or when you re-

quire greater clarity. This resolu- tion is twice as fine as Standard.

❖Super Fine (Optional 400dpi card is

required: 16×15.4 lines/mm, 400×400	2
dpi)

Select for originals with very fine details or when you require the best possible image clarity. This resolution is eight times as fine as 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 which is supported.

❒Sending with Super Fine resolu- tion requires that your machine has the optional 400dpi option and the other party's machine has the capability to receive fax messages at Super Fine resolution. Note that even if the option is installed on your machine, transmission and reception may take place using Detail resolution if the other par- ty's machine does not support this feature.

Note

❒When the machine is turned on or modes are cleared, the resolution is set to Standard by default. You can

change this with the User Parame- ters. ⇒ P.203 “Changing the User Parameters”

❒By default, the resolution returns to the home setting after every

transmission. You change this with the User Parameters. ⇒ P.203 “Changing the User Parameters”
