Adjusting the document settings
Before starting a fax, change the following settings according to your original’s
status to get the best quality.
It may be necessary to press OK to navigate to lower-level menus for some
models.
Resolution
The default document settings produce 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.
1 Select (fax) > (Menu) > Fax Feature > Resolution on the control
panel.
2 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.
• Memory transmission is not available in this mode.
• You can only send a color fax if the machine you are communicating with
supports color fax reception and you send the fax manually.
