THE FAX MACHINE
In this chapter, you will learn how to send and receive fax documents, use the four fax
reception modes, and use the voice request feature.
Sending a Fax
Preparing a Document
¥ If your original is poor quality, make a photocopy of it. Acopy often transmits better
than the original.
¥ 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 donÕt fax well.
¥ After the document has been loaded, press Ãor ¨to adjust the brightness of your
document. By pressing Ãor ¨ repeatedly, you can choose LIGHT, AUTO, or DARK.
LIGHTworks with very dark print.
AUTOworks well for normal handwritten, typed, or printed documents.
DARKworks with light print or faint pencil markings.
¥ After the document has been loaded, press RESOL.to increase the sharpness and
clarity. By pressing RESOL.repeatedly, you can choose STANDARD, FINE, SUPER
FINE or PHOTO mode.
STANDARDworks well for printed or typewritten originals with normal-sized
characters.
FINEis good for documents containing a lot of detail.
SUPER FINEworks well for documents containing extremely fine detail SUPER FINE
works only if the remote machine also has the SUPER FINE feature.
PHOTOis used when faxing photographs or other documents containing color or
shades gray. When PHOTO is chosen, the SUPER FINE setting is automatically chosen.
