Adjusting Quality of Your Fax | Samsung SCX-1150F guide

Adjusting Quality of Your Fax

When setting typical text based documents, your product enables you to send documents that are very close to the quality of the original.

However, if you send documents that are of poor quality, or contain photographs, you can adjust the following features to best suit the document.

NOTE: After you adjust the resolution or the contrast, if no key is pressed for 2 minutes or if you press Cancel/Reset, the settings are automatically reset to their default status (see page page 5.6).

Setting Resolution

Resolution is a measure of the fineness or clarity of a printout. Low resolutions may cause text and graphics to have a jagged appearance, while higher resolutions provide smoother curves and lines, crisp text and graphics, and a better match to traditional typeface designs.

1Press Resolution on the operation panel to select the resolution setting. The default setting appears on the bottom line of the display.

2To change the setting, press Resolution or use the Scroll

buttons ( or ). You can choose between STANDARD, FINE, and SUPERFINE. Press Enter to save the selection.

The document types recommended for quality settings are described below.

STANDARD works well for normal handwritten typed, or printed documents.

FINE is good for documents containing a lot of detail.

SUPERFINE works well for documents containing extremely fine detail. Superfine works only if the remote machine also has the SUPERFINE feature.
