Adjusting the document settings

Before starting a fax, change the following settings according to your

original’s status to get the best quality.

• Accessing menus may differ from model to model (see

"Accessing the menu" on page 29).

• It may be necessary to press OK to navigate to lower-level

menus for some models.

Resolution

The default document settings produces good results when using

typical text-based originals. However, if you send originals that are of

poor quality, or contain photographs, you can adjust the resolution

to produce a higher quality fax.

The resolution setting is applied to the current fax job. To

change the default setting (see Advanced Guide).

Select (fax) > (Menu) > Fax Feature > Resolution on

the control panel.

Select the option you want and press OK.

• Standard: Originals with normal sized characters.

• Fine: Originals containing small characters or thin lines or

originals printed using a dot-matrix printer.

• Super Fine: Originals containing extremely fine detail.

Super Fine mode is enabled only if the machine with

which you are communicating also supports the Super

Fine resolution.

• For memory transmission, Super Fine mode is not

available. The resolution setting is automatically changed

to Fine.

• When your machine is set to Super Fine resolution and

the fax machine with which you are communicating does

not support Super Fine resolution, the machine transmits

using the highest resolution mode supported by the other

fax machine.

• Photo Fax: Originals containing shades of gray or

photographs.

• Color Fax: Original with colors.
