Recommended resolution settings for different original document types

We recommend you to use traditional analog phone services (PSTN:
public switched telephone network) when connecting telephone lines
to use Fax. If you use other Internet services (DSL, ISDN, VoIP), you
can improve the connection quality by using the Micro-filter. The
Micro-filter eliminates unnecessary noise signals and improves
connection quality or Internet quality. Since the DSL Micro-filter is not
provided with the machine, contact your Internet Service provider for
use on DSL Micro-filter.
You cannot use this machine as a fax via the internet phone. For more
information ask the internet service provider.

3 DSL modem / Telephone line MODE RECOMMENDED FOR:
Standard Originals with normal sized characters.
Fine Originals containing small characters or thin
lines or originals printed using a dot-matrix
printer.

Fine mode is enabled only if the machine with
which you are communicating also supports the
Super Fine resolution.
