Preparing to send a document

Adjusting the quality of your documents
■
Setting the scanning resolution
Resolution is a measure of the fineness or clarity of a printout. Low resolutions may cause text and graphics to have
a jagged appearance, while higher resolutions provide smoother curves and lines, crisp text and graphics, and a better
match to traditional typeface designs.
■
Setting the scanning contrast
Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed document. You can adjust
the contrast your fax uses to send or copy documents, according to how light or dark your document is.
The higher the resolution, the higher the output quality, but the slower the scanning speed.
1
Load the document face up into the document tray (see p. 24).
2
Press [Resolution] to select the resolution.
You can select STANDARD, FINE or PHOTO.
After about 5 seconds, the fax returns to standby mode.
You can change the resolution setting while the document is being scanned for sending. However, please note that your
new setting will only be effective from the next page scanned.
