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 need to load the document first (see p. 49).
❚ STANDARD

Press [Resolution] until STANDARD appears.
Standard resolution is 3.85 lines/mm.
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 7.71 lines/mm.

❚ PHOTO

Press [Resolution] until PHOTO appears.
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 grey, rather than just 2 levels, black and white. Photo resolution is 3.85 lines/mm.
This results in a much better reproduction of the photograph.

Density control

You can adjust the scanning density by changing the DENSITY CONTROL setting in
the USER SETTINGS (see p. 85). For light originals choose the DARKER setting. For
dark originals choose the LIGHTER setting.
