Beyond the basics
The EasyStart feature guided you through the “just-gotta” settings on your machine.
In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings.
Setting up for scans
You can set parameters regarding how your fax machine scans documents for either
faxing or copying:
• Primary transmission mode — Gives you four ways to send faxes, either one
of the three resolution modes — normal, fine or superfine (“S Fine” on the
LCD
)
— or in grayscale mode (“Gray”).
• Primary contrast mode — Sets how light or dark you want faxed documents
to be when they arrive at their destinations.
• Scanning width (F-150 only) — Set how wide an area your fax machine scans
per page.

For most uses, “

4” is the proper setting; it scans the central 8.2″ of each
page. However, for documents of unusual width, you may wish to use the “
B
4”
setting, which scans the central 9.9″ of each page. (See “
A

Glossary beginning on page 3.17.)
