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
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×

❖ Detail (8×

×7.7lines/mm, 200×

×200dpi)
Select for originals containing
small characters or when you re-
quire greater clarity. This resolu-
tion is twice as fine as Standard.
❖

❖ 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.
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
❒ 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.
