Scan settings
Default setting: Primary resolution: Normal, Primary contrast: Normal
Four different settings tell your machine how to scan documents. The initial factory
settings are probably right for most applications, so try using them before changing
any of these settings:
• Primary resolution mode — Sets the resolution for your documents. Choose
either normal, fine, superfine (“S-Fine” on the LCD ) or grayscale mode (“Gray”).
• Primary contrast mode — Sets how light or dark you want faxed documents
to be when they arrive at their destination.
Note: The primary settings you choose effect your fax activity only.
To set these modes:
1 Press MENU , J , 0, 1, [Enter].
2 To set the primary resolution mode, select
“Resol.” then press [Enter].
3 Select desired resolution mode, then press
[Enter].
4 To set the primary contrast mode, select
“Contrast” then press [Enter].
5 Select desired contrast mode using a cursor key, then press [Enter].
6 Press [Exit] to exit this setting mode.
7 Press RESET to return to the standby mode.
By following the steps above, you’ve set your defaults for scanning. Before sending
documents, you can “override” these default scan settings for that transmission.
To override the default resolution and contrast settings before sending a document:
• Press
RESOLUTION to change the resolution.
• Press CONTRAST to change the contrast.
Once your document is transmitted, your machine returns to its default settings.
Setting
ECM
Default setting: ON.
“Line noise,” or static on the line during a call, can easily disrupt the flow of data
from one fax machine to another.
That’s why your fax machine gives you the option of using Error Correction Mode
(
ECM ). When two fax machines communicate while running in ECM , the sending
machine automatically checks the data as it sends. If the receiving fax machine can’t
verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send it as necessary.
Note: ECM gives you a better chance of transmitting a fax document over a bad
phone line, but it could also slow down the transmission time. And the worse
the line is, the slower the transmission. That’s why the machine lets you
turn
ECM on or off as needed.
Note: Not all fax machines have ECM . If you’ve activated ECM and then transmit to
a fax machine not currently using ECM , there will be no change in the fax
transmission from a usual, non- ECM transmission.
1 Press MENU , J , 0, 7, [Enter].
The LCD shows the current ECM setting:
2 Select “On” or “Off” using the cursor key.
3 Press [Enter] to save the setting.
4 Press RESET to return to the standby mode.
