Sending Documents

Before you send a document, see "Document Requirements" , and "Loading Documents and Paper".

reference:
  • You can send up to 20 A4-size (10 legal-size) pages at a time (based on the Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1, standard resolution).You cannot add pages while the fax is sending.
  • The fax stores the document temporally in memory when sending a document, however, when memory is full, it will send the document as it scans the document without storing document in memory.

You can set the scanning resolution and contrast .

2. Dial the receiving party's fax number.

Use one of the dialing methods described in this chapter.

  • If an error occurs during sending, the fax beeps intermittently for a few seconds and an error message appears on the LCD. If this happens, correct the problem and then press [Stop/Reset], then try sending the document again.
  • The fax automatically redials if the receiving party does not answer or if the line is busy .





- Manual Sending

If you would like to first speak with the person you are sending the document to, use manual sending.

  • You can set whether or not the fax prints the TX REPORT .





- 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.

reference:

Using a higher resolution will increase the output quality, but will slow down the scanning speed.




1. Load the document face up into the ADF.

2. Press [Receive Mode/Resolution] to select the resolution.You can select <FAX STANDARD>, <FAX FINE> or <FAX PHOTO>.

reference:

You cannot change the resolution setting while the machine is sending a fax or after it starts scanning.




  • 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.
