Sending a Fax at the Image Quality Suitable for the Original
For a person at the destination to receive a document by fax at optimal quality, specify the scan settings such as Resolution, Density, and Original Type on the [Settings] screen when sending the fax.
You can change the scan settings for each page when using the exposure glass to scan the originals.
When scanning an original with a large number of pages, there may be a long pause between each page depending on the nature of the original or the machine settings.
Press [Fax] on the Home screen.
Set the original in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF) or on the exposure glass.
Setting an Original to Send by Fax on the Scanner
To change the scan settings on the middle page while scanning a document, set an original on the exposure glass.
Press [Settings], and then specify the scan settings.
Resolution
The resolution for scanning an original increases in the order of [Standard], [Detail], [Super Fine]. Select [Super Fine] for text on a standard newspaper or of a similar size and select [Detail] or [Standard] for text of a slightly larger size or handwritten text.
You need to attach the optional unit to the machine to select [Super Fine].
Density
Adjust the scan density when the background color appears too dark, or text too faint. The scanned color darkens as you move
to the right.When scanning an original with dark colored text on a heavily tinted background such as newspaper, select [Auto Density].
[Auto Density] is selected automatically when you specify [Text], [Text / Line Art] or [Text / Photo] in Original Type.
When selecting [Photo] in [Original Type], [Auto Density] is not selected automatically. If you want to set [Auto Density], select it manually.
