Report

A document printed by the FAX-L250 and

containing information about the faxes it has

Resolution

The density of dots for any given output

and graphics to have a jagged appearance.

Higher resolution means smoother curves and

angles as well as a better match to traditional

typeface designs. Resolution values are

represented by horizontal data and vertical

data, for example, 360 × 360 dpi. This unit

produces output with 600 × 600 dpi precision.

Rotary pulse
