Adjusting the Sending Quality

You can adjust the image quality (fax resolution) or density (scan contrast) of the document you send. 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. 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. Adjust the image quality and density according to the type of document you are sending.

Press the <FAX> button, and press the <FAX Quality> button.
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.
  
  Note: The color fax is sent with the resolution for Photo.
