Changing Scanned Image Quality
Scanned Image Quality includes contrast, which affects the lightness and darkness of outgoing faxes and
copies, and resolution, which affects the quality with which outgoing faxes are scanned. Use the table below
to decide if you need to modify your fax document or the fax settings before copying or faxing.
Note: For PC scanning, you can override the settings made here. For more information,
see chapter 4 or the online help system for Eclipse FAX SE.
Goal: Do this:
Send fax as quickly as possible. Set Resolution to Standard (factory setting).
Make text and line drawings as sharp as
possible. Set Resolution to Fine.
Capture images containing different
shades of gray or color (for example,
photographs). Set Resolution to Photo.
Lighten or darken the original. Change the Contrast setting.
Fax a document that's smaller than
standard sizes or torn. Place the original document in a protective document carrier (a clear plastic
holder that resembles a page protector; available at most office supply stores)
before faxing.
Fax a document that's stapled or
paper-clipped. Remove staples or paper clips from the document before faxing.
When you choose OfficeJet Setup/Scanned Image Quality ,
the Scanned Image Quality dialog box appears. When
you have finished making settings, click the
OK button to
save your settings and close the dialog box. Click the
Cancel button to close the dialog box without saving your
settings; the Default button to return to factory settings;
and the Help button to get help for this topic.
