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, Super Fine (op-
tion)
❖
❖❖
❖ Original Type:
Text, Text/Photo, Photo
❖
❖❖
❖ Image Density (Contrast):
Auto Image Density, Manual Im-
age Density (7 levels)
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 image
and how long it takes to transmit.
Therefore, images scanned at high res-
olution (Super 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.
Choose the setting that matches your
needs based upon this trade off be-
tween speed and image clarity.

Select for originals with very fine
details or when you require the

resolution is eight times as fine as
Standard.
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 Super Fine resolu-
tion requires that your machine
has the optional Expansion Memo-
ry and the other party's machine
has the capability to receive fax
messages at Super Fine resolution.
❒ Note that even if the option is in-
stalled on your machine, transmis-
sion and reception may take place
using Detail resolution if the other
party's machine does not support
this feature.
Note
❒ You can select the resolution type
that is selected right after the ma-
chine is turned on or modes are
cleared with the [Gen. Settings/Ad-
just] key. ⇒ Chapter 7, “General
Settings/Adjustment” in the Ad-
vanced Features manual
❒ You can set whether the machine
returns to the resolution default
setting after every transmission
with the [Gen. Settings/Adjust] key.

tings/Adjustment” in the Ad-
vanced Features manual
