Scanning Settings When Sending a Fax

Changing the Scan Settings (Fax)

This section describes how to change the following scan settings to send a fax.

"Resolution"

"Density"

"Sharpness"

Resolution

Specify the resolution.

Higher resolutions result in better image quality but require longer transmission times.

<200 x 100 dpi (Normal)>	For faxes that contain text
<200 x 200 dpi (Fine)>	For faxes that contain fine text
<200 x 200 dpi (Photo)>	For faxes that contain photographs
<200 x 400 dpi (Superfine)>	For faxes that contain fine text
<400 x 400 dpi (Ultrafine)>	For faxes that contain photographs

Density

Specify the density.

[ ]	Decrease the density.
[ ]	Increase the density.

Sharpness

Adjust this setting to emphasize the outline of the image or decrease the contrast.

[ ]	To clearly capture halftone photos, adjust this setting to the appropriate level on the <-> scale. This can counteract the effect of moire patterns (uneven gradation and striped patterns).
[ ]	To clearly capture text or lines, adjust this setting to the appropriate level on the <+> scale. It is best suited for scanning blueprints and very weak pencil manuscripts.
