Adjusting the Sending Quality

You can adjust the density (scan contrast) or image quality (fax resolution) of the document you send. Contrast is the degree of difference between light and dark. Increasing the scan contrast thickens the whole fax image, or light penciled texts and such can be thickened. The higher you set the image quality setting, the better the output quality will be at the other end, but the longer it will take for the transmission. Adjust the density and image quality according to the type of document you are sending.

1.Press the FAX button, and press the FAX Quality button.

2.Select the image quality (fax resolution).

(1) Use the (Up) or (Down) button to select FAX resolution.

Standard: Suitable for text-only documents.

Fine: Suitable for fine-print documents.

Extra fine: Suitable for detailed illustration or fine-print quality documents.

If the recipient's fax machine is not compatible with Extra fine (300x300dpi), the fax will be sent in the Standard or Fine resolution.

Photo: Suitable for photographs.

Caution

The color fax is sent with the resolution for Photo.

3.Select the density (scan contrast).

(2) Use the (Left) or (Right) button to select the density.

Pressing the (Left) button decreases the contrast, and pressing the (Right) button increases the contrast.
