3.2 Basic operation
Setting document resolution and contrast
We recommend sending documents printed using a typewriter, felt tip pen,
black ink or laserwriter. The paper should be white or very light, and of
normal weight – not cardboard. Blue lines on a ruled pad do not fax well.
When you send normal documents, you need not adjust the resolution and
the contrast.
If you send documents with unusual contrast characteristics, including
photographs, you can adjust the resolution and contrast to send a high-
quality transmission of the documents.
Resolution
Press the Resolution button to increase sharpness and clarity. By press-
ing the Resolution button repeatedly after loading a document, you can
choose between STANDARD, FINE or SUPER FINE mode.
STANDARD works well for documents with normal sized characters.
FINE is good for documents containing small characters or thin lines, or
print from a dot-matrix printer.
SUPER FINE works well for documents containing extremely fine details.
SUPER FINE works only if the remote machine also has the SUPER FINE
features.
Contrast
Press the Rcv. Mode/Contrast button to compensate for the brightness or
darkness of your outgoing document. By pressing the Rcv.
Mode/Contrast button repeatedly after loading a document, you can
choose between NORMAL, DARKEN, LIGHTEN or PHOTO.
NORMAL works well for normal documents.
DARKEN works well for light print or faint pencil markings. The light
image and text on the document will be darker on the printed page.
LIGHTEN works well for dark print. The dark image and text on the doc-
ument will be lighter on the printed page.
PHOTO is used when faxing photographs or other documents containing
colour or shades of gray. Although your machine will not transmit colour,
it will print and send up to 64 shades of gray. When you choose this
mode, you should set the resolution to FINE.
