Setting Items for Sending Faxes

You can change the send settings such as the scan contrast or the scan resolution on the Fax standby screen.

Select to change the send settings.

  • ScanRes.

    The following settings of the scan resolution are selectable.

    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 device is not compatible with Extra fine (300 x 300 dpi), the fax will be sent in the Standard or Fine resolution.
    Photo
    Suitable for photographs.

    Note

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

    Select a setting of the scan contrast from Lower, Standard, and Higher.

  • ADF duplex scan

    Select whether to perform duplex scanning from the ADF.

    Note

    • After sending a fax with Duplex, this setting returns to Simplex automatically.

The touch screen returns to the Fax standby screen when you finish specifying the setting and selecting OK.
