Scan Settings
You may wish to send many different types of fax messages. 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, Fine
❖Original Type:
Text, Photo
❖Image density:
Manual Image Density
❖Fine (8⋅15.4lines/mm, 200⋅400dpi)
Select for originals with very fine
details or when you require the best possible image clarity. This resolution is four times as fine as
Standard.2
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 Fine resolution re- quires that the other party's ma- chine has the capability to receive fax messages at Fine resolution.
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 (Fine) have high quality but transmission takes longer. Con- versely, low resolution (Standard) scanning results in less quality but your original is sent more quickly. Choose the setting that matches your needs based upon this trade off be- tween speed and image clarity.
❖Standard (8⋅3.85lines/mm, 200⋅100dpi)
Select for originals containing nor- mal sized characters.
❖Detail (8⋅7.7lines/mm, 200⋅200dpi)
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 Initial Setup TX settings. See Chapter 5 “Chang- ing the Initial Setup Transmission” in the Advanced Features manual.
❒By default, the resolution returns to the home setting after every transmission. You can change this with the User Parameters. See Chapter 6 “User Parameters (Switch01, Bit7)” in the Advanced Features manual.
Select for originals containing small characters or when you re- quire greater clarity. This resolu- tion is twice as fine as Standard.
