Adjusting the Scan Resolution or the Scan Contrast

Adjusting the Scan Resolution

You can adjust the scan resolution of the original you send. The higher you set the scan resolution setting, the better the output quality will be at the other end, but the longer it will take for the transmission. Adjust the scan resolution according to the type of original you are sending.

Note: When sending a color fax, documents are always scanned in the same resolution (200x200dpi). The image quality (compression rate) is determined by which scan resolution is selected, except that Extra fine and Photo provide the same image quality.

Adjusting the Scan Contrast

Contrast is the degree of difference between light and dark. Increasing the scan contrast setting further blackens dark areas and whitens bright areas, whereas decreasing the contrast setting reduces the difference between bright and dark areas. You can adjust the contrast among three contrast levels.
