Original Type
If the original contains photographs, illustrations, or diagrams with complex shading patterns or grays, select the appropriate original type to optimize image clarity.

Text / Photo
Select [Text / Photo] to send an original containing both a high-contrast black-and-white image, such as text, and a halftone image, such as a photograph.
Photo
Select [Photo] to send an original containing a halftone image, such as a photograph or a color original.
Press [Scan Settings].
Make sure that [Original Type] is selected.

If you send a fax document with [Text / Line Art], [Text / Photo], or [Photo] and the background of the received image is dirty, reduce the density setting and resend the fax.
Resolution
Specify the resolution according to the size of the text on the original.
Standard (8 × 3.85 lines/mm, 200 × 100 dpi)
Select for originals containing normal size characters.
Detail (8 × 7.7 lines/mm, 200 × 200 dpi)

Super Fine (16 × 15.4 lines/mm, 400 × 400 dpi)
Select for originals with very fine details or when you require the best possible image clarity. This resolution is eight times finer than Standard.
For details about the optional units required for Super Fine, see "Functions Requiring Optional Configurations", Specifications.
If the other party's machine does not support the resolution at which you are sending, this machine automatically switches to a resolution that is supported. You can check the resolution at which you actually sent by printing the Records.

Scan size settings are as follows:
Auto Detect

When the ADF is used, the machine scans the vertical size of originals as that of A4 size and detects the horizontal size of originals automatically.
When the exposure glass is used, the machine scans originals as A4 size, and the original size is not detected automatically.
(mainly North America)
When the ADF is used, the machine scans the vertical size of originals as that of 81/2 × 11 size and detects the horizontal size of originals automatically.
When the exposure glass is used, the machine scans originals as 81/2 × 11 size, and the original size is not detected automatically.
Regular
The placed original is scanned according to specified standard size regardless of actual size.
Area
