Setting Docu- ment Resolution and Contrast

The Fax Machine

We recommend you send documents printed using a typewriter, felt tip pen, black ink, or laserwriter. The paper should be white or very light, and of normal weight not cardboard.

Blue lines on a ruled pad don’t fax well. For more information on what kind of paper you can use for documents, see “Acceptable Documents (for ADF)” on page 8-4.

When you send/copy normal documents, you need not adjust the resolution and the contrast.

If you send/copy documents with unusual contrast characteristics, including photographs, you can adjust the resolution and contrast to send a high-quality transmission of the documents.

To adjust the resolution and contrast after loading document(s):

1 Press Resolution as many times as you want to adjust the sharpness and clarity. There are three resolution modes: STANDARD, FINE and

SUPER FINE.

Note

SUPER FINE mode is not used when sending documents scanned into memory (i.e., Broadcast- ing and Delayed Fax)

STANDARD works well for printed or typewritten origi- nals with normal-sized characters.

FINE is good for documents containing a lot of detail.

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

2 Press Rcv.Mode/Contrast as many times as you want to adjust the darkness. There are four contrast modes: NORMAL, LIGHTEN, DARKEN and PHOTO.

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

LIGHTEN works with very dark print.

DARKEN works with light print or faint pencil mark- ings.

PHOTO is used when faxing photographs or other

documents containing color or gray shades. When Photo is chosen, the resolution is automatically set to FINE.

When sending/copying is executed, resolution/con- trast automatically returns to default.
