Adjusting the Resolution and Contrast

Adjusting the Image Quality (Resolution)

Canon's Ultra High Quality (UHQ^TM) imaging technology enables you to send faxes with a print quality that is very close to that of the original document. The machine also lets you adjust the resolution it uses in sending faxes to best suit your particular document.

The machine has 5 resolution settings:

	[STANDARD] is adequate for most text documents.
	[FINE] is suitable for documents with fine print (smaller than the print in this sentence).
	[PHOTO] is for documents that contain photographs. With this setting, areas of the document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 256 levels of gray, rather than just two (black and white). This gives a much better reproduction of the photos, though transmission time is longer.
	[SUPER FINE] is for documents that contain fine print and images (much smaller than the print in this sentence), and its resolution is four times of [STANDARD].
	[ULTRA FINE] is for documents that contain fine print and images (much smaller than the print in this sentence), and its resolution is eight times of [STANDARD].

1. Press <Fax>.
   If you are already in the Fax standby mode, you can skip this step.
   
   
   
2. Press <Image Quality>.
   The LCD display shows the current resolution setting.
   
   
   
3. Press <Image Quality> repeatedly until the resolution you want is displayed, then press <Set>.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Continue with the operation you wish to complete.
   If you do not proceed with any other operation, the LCD display returns to standby mode.
   
   

Adjusting the Exposure (Density)

You can select the scanning density from the following:

	[LIGHT] for documents with dark text or color.
	[STANDARD] for normal printed or written text.
	[DARK] for documents with light text or color.

1. Press <Fax>.
   If you are already in the Fax standby mode, you can skip this step.
   
   
   
2. Press <Exposure>.
   The LCD display shows the current exposure setting.
   
   
   
3. Press <Exposure> repeatedly until the scanning density you want is displayed, then press <Set>.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Continue the operation you wish to complete.
   If you do not proceed with any other operation, the LCD display returns to standby mode.
   
   
   • You can set the scanning density so that the desired scanning density such as [STANDARD] is automatically returned after the [AUTO CLEAR] function activates or documents are scanned. Since [SCAN DENSITY] of [FAX DEFAULT] is set to [OFF] in the factory default setting, the scanning density set using <Exposure> will remain unchanged.
   • You can set the level of each scanning density (LIGHT/STANDARD/DARK) in the [DENSITY CONTROL] of the menu.
