Basic operation
Resolution, grayscale
Reviewing resolution and grayscale:
Normal resolution ( N O R M on the control panel) is suitable for most typed
documents and simple drawings.
Fine resolution ( FINE on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli-
cated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.
Superfine resolution ( S - FINE on the control panel, S Fine on the LCD )
reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.
Grayscale mode ( HALFTO N E on the control panel; Gray on the LCD ) captures shades
in photos and drawings.
Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, non-Muratec
models) receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in grayscale
mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.
To change the resolution setting, press RESOLUTION repeatedly.
A glowing LED indicates the fax is using the setting named by that
LED . For example, in the drawing (right), the machine is set for FINE
resolution.
Contrast
Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or darkness,
as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.
To change the contrast setting, press C O N T R A S T repeatedly.
A glowing LED indicates the fax is using the setting named by that
LED .
Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just
remember Light
lightens and Dark darkens to
keep it straight.
Mixing resolution and contrast in a multiple page
When you send the document with more than one page, you can select different resolu-
tions and contrasts for each page.
Insert your documents, select resolution and contrast for first page, dial and press
STA R T . Then follow one of the following two procedures.
When the document is placed in the ADF :
Select resolution and contrast before the next page is scanned.
When the document is placed on the FBS glass:
1 Remove the previous page and place the next page.
2 Select resolution and contrast. Then press NEXT D O C .
Dialing pause
Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses can also be useful
when you re dialing through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause, assign REDIAL / PA U S E to a Soft key (see page 3.16), and then press
REDIAL / PA U S E . (The pause character ( -/ ) will appear on the LCD .) Each pause entered
lasts for a factory-set two seconds.
For example, pressing 9, REDIAL / PA U S E ,19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7 2
5 5 5 2 0 0 9.
Helpful Tip: You can change the dialing pause length within 2 to 10 seconds.
(see Changing the pause length, page 4.5.)
Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail
Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And any service
such as voice mail which may intercept your calls can keep your fax machine from
receiving fax calls.
If you use only one line for both phone and fax, consult your telephone company to see
how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax machine.
