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, Auto
❖
❖❖
❖ Original Type:
Halftone
Resolution
Images and text are scanned into the
machine by converting them to a se-
quence of dots. The frequency of dots
determines the quality of the image
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×

quire greater clarity. This resolu-
tion is twice as fine as Standard.

and (8×

Select for originals containing nor-
mal size characters and small size
characters. The machine will
choose either Standard or Detail
for originals automatically.
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.
Note
❒ The resolution returns to the de-
fault setting after every transmis-
sion. You can change this with the
User Parameters (Switch01, Bit7).
See p.83 “User Parameters”, Ad-
vanced Features.
❒ Auto resolution can be selected
when the machine is in memory
transmission mode and it can not
be selected when the machine is in
immediate transmission mode.
❒ Standard Memory Transmission is
used instead of Parallel Memory
Transmission when Auto resolu-
tion is selected.
❒ Auto resolution can not be selected
when copying.
❒ Usually, transmission takes short-
er when Auto resolution is select-
ed than Detail resolution is
selected. However, transmission
for some originals containing nor-
mal size characters and small size
characters takes longer because
resolution modes are changed.
