Preparing to send a document
Before you send a document, see Chapter 3: DOCUMENTS AND PAPER.
Adjusting the quality of your documents ______
Setting the scanning resolution
Resolution is a measure of the fineness or clarity of a printout. Low resolutions may cause text
and graphics to have a jagged appearance, while higher resolutions provide smoother curves and
lines, crisp text and graphics, and a better match to traditional typeface designs.
Setting the scanning contrast
Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed
document. You can adjust the contrast your fax uses to send or copy documents, according to
how light or dark your document is.
Using a higher resolution will increase the output quality, but will slow down the scanning speed.
