Use halftone if your original is a 
photograph or has gradations of

• The default resolution setting is
"STANDARD" and the default exposure 
setting is "AUTO". The default settings for 
the resolution and exposure can be 
changed in the system settings. (See 
"RES. CON. SET" on page 105.) When 
using the document glass to scan multiple 
original pages, the exposure setting can 
be changed each time you change pages. 
When using the SPF/RSPF, the resolution 
and exposure settings cannot be changed 
once scanning has begun.
• Even if you send a fax using a high
resolution setting such as "FINE", 
"SUPER FINE", or "ULTRA FINE", some 
receiving fax machines may print the fax 
at a lower resolution.

selection, press the [CA] key.
