Controlling How Your Documents Will
Look When They're Received By Another
Fax Machine
The following sections describe how to assess the quality of your original document and
how to make adjustments that will improve the appearance of your outgoing faxes when
they are received.
Use the following table to decide if you need to modify your fax document or the fax
settings before faxing.
Goal: Do this:
Text as sharp as possible
Adjust the Resolution setting to
Fine
(see the
following instructions).
Graphic illustrations and
photographs as sharp as
possible
Adjust the Resolution setting to
Photo
(see the
following instructions).
Lighten or darken the
document while scanning
Adjust the Fax/Copy Contrast setting (see
following instructions).
Fax a document that's smaller
than standard sizes or a
document that's torn
Insert the original document into a protective
document carrier before faxing. (A document
carrier is a clear plastic holder that looks
something like a page protector. It's available at
most office supply stores.)
Fax a document that's stapled
or paper-clipped
Remove staples and paper clips from the
document before faxing.
CAUTION:
Failure to remove staples and paper
clips before faxing can cause permanent damage
to the scanner inside the HP OfficeJet LX.
