originals.

Background
Suppression
Use to automatically
reduce or eliminate the
dark background resulting
from scanning colored
paper or newspaper
originals.
• On: Select to eliminate background.
• Off: Select if Background Suppression is not required.
Resolution Resolution affects the
appearance of the fax at
the receiving fax terminal.
A higher resolution
produces a better quality
image. A lower resolution
reduces communication
time.
• Standard: Recommended for text documents. It
requires less communication time, but does not
produce the best image quality for graphics and
photos.
• Fine: Recommended for line art and photos. This is
the default resolution and the best choice in most
cases.
• SuperFine: Recommended for use with high quality
photos and graphics.
• Photo Fax: Recommended for originals containing
shades of gray or photographs.
• Color Fax: Recommended for originals with colors.
Sending a color fax is enabled only if the remote fax
machine supports color fax reception and you send
the fax manually. In this mode, memory transmission
is not available.
Note: When your machine is set to Super Fine resolution
and the remote fax machine does not support Super Fine
resolution, the machine transmits using the highest
resolution mode supported.
