Setting the Resolution, Density, and Image
Quality to Match the Original
To ensure that a received fax is easy to read, set the resolution, density, and image quality to
match the originals you are sending.
NOTE
•
You can set the resolution, density, and image quality to levels that you use frequently. (See
‘Changing the Fax Function Standard Modes,’ on p. 5-10.)
•
If originals that are dark and difficult to see, or originals that are faint and difficult to see, are scanned
frequently, it is recommended that you set the standard density in advance. (See ‘Setting the
Standard Density for Scanning Documents,’ on p. 5-8.)
•
Mode settings that are specified before originals are sent, return to their default settings when
scanning ends or the preset Auto Clear time is reached.
•
Although originals sent with the Fine, Superfine, Ultrafine, Photo, or Text/Photo modes have
enhanced clarity, transmission may take longer with these than with the normal mode.
•
The default settings are as follows:
- Resolution: Standard
- Density: Standard
- Image Quality: Text
■
Resolution - the following settings are available:
Standard: Use when the characters are larger than newspaper type.
Fine: Use to send originals in twice the detail of the Standard mode.
Superfine: Use to send originals in four times the detail of the Standard mode. If the
receiving fax does not support this mode, the document is automatically sent in the Fine
mode.
Ultrafine: Use to send originals at 16 dots/mm x 15.4 lines/mm. If the receiving fax does
not support this mode, the original is automatically sent in the Superfine or Fine mode.
NOTE
•
When using the Ultrafine mode with the Image Quality mode set to Photo, some originals may
transmit slowly.
•
If the receiving fax does not support the Superfine or Ultrafine modes, the originals are sent at the
resolution of the receiving fax.

Dark/Standard/Light: Select the option that best matches the original.
