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 ma- chine has three settings that you can adjust to help you transmit your doc- ument 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 se- quences of dots. The density of the dots determines the quality of the im- age 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. Se- lect the setting that matches your needs based upon this trade off be- tween speed and image clarity.
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 |

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.19 “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].
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.
