Setting the resolution and density______________

You can control the resolution and density of the fax reproduction when sending or
copying documents.

■ What is resolution?

Resolution defines the quality of the document reproduction. STANDARD is enough
for most text documents. Documents with very fine print should be set to FINE.
Documents with photographs should be set to PHOTO.

■ Setting the resolution

To set the resolution, you first have to load the document (See p. 45).
❚ STANDARD

Press [RESOLUTION] until STANDARD appears.
Standard resolution is 203 dpi

×

98 dpi.

When copying, even if you set STANDARD,
the document will automatically be scanned in FINE mode.

❚ FINE

Press [RESOLUTION] until FINE appears.
Fine resolution is 203 dpi

×

196 dpi.

❚ PHOTO

To scan documents that contain photos, use the PHOTO setting. With this setting,
areas of the document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 64 levels
of gray, rather than just 2 levels, black and white. Photo resolution is 203 dpi

×

196

dpi. This results in a much better reproduction of the photograph.

■ Density control

You can adjust the scanning density by changing DENSITY CONTROL in the USER
SETTINGS (See p. 75). For light originals choose the DARKER setting. For dark
originals choose the LIGHTER setting.
