Preparing to Send a Fax
Documents You Can Fax
For information on the types of documents you can fax, their requirements, and details
on loading documents, 1 Chapter 4.
Adjusting the Quality of Your Faxes
Canon’s Ultra High Quality (UHQ
™
) imaging technology enables you to send documents
that are very close to the quality of the original. Your unit allows you to send a
document in colour or black & white, and to adjust the resolution and contrast to best
suit your particular document.
Setting Colour or Black & White Transmission
Your unit can send faxes in black & white. It can also send faxes in colour to fax
machines with colour capability. Before sending a document, you need to adjust
whether the document will be sent in colour, or in black & white only.
■ To send in black & white:
Make sure the Colour/B&W button’s light is off. If not, press Colour/B&W to turn it off.
■ To send in colour (to fax machines that support colour fax
reception):
Press Colour/B&W to turn on its light.

If you attempt to send a colour document to a fax machine that does not support colour
faxing, the document will not be sent and the LCD will display TRY AGAIN IN B&W. Try
sending again in black & white. Alternatively, you can enable the COLOUR DIRECT TX
setting (1 p. 14-6) that converts colour faxes to black & white if the other party’s fax
machine does not support colour faxing, thus enabling you to send colour documents to
any fax machine without an error occurring.
