Setting Document Resolution and Contrast
We recommend sending documents printed using a typewriter, felt tip pen, black ink, or
laserwriter. The paper should be white or very light, and of normal weight
-
not
cardboard. Blue lines on a ruled pad donÕt fax well.
If you send documents with unusual contrast characteristics, including photographs, you
can adjust the resolution and contrast to send a high-quality transmission of the
documents.
¥ Press RESOLUTION to increase sharpness and clarity. By pressing RESOLUTION
repeatedly, you can choose FINE, SUPER FINE, or STANDARD mode.
STANDARD works well for normal handwritten typed, or printed documents.
When STANDARD is selected, all lamps about the RESOLUTION button are off.
FINE is good for documents containing a lot of detail. When FINE is selected, the FINE
lamp lights.
SUPER FINE works well for documents containing extremely fine detail. When SUPER
FINE is selected, SUPER FINE lamp lights. SUPER FINE works only if the remote
machine also has the SUPER FINE feature.
You can not use SUPER FINE mode for memory transmission.
¥ Press CONTRAST to compensate for the brightness or darkness of your faxed
document. By pressing CONTRAST repeatedly, you can choose between DARKEN,
LIGHTEN, PHOTO, or NORMAL.
DARKEN works with light print or faint pencil markings. When DARKEN is selected,
the DARKEN lamp lights.
LIGHTEN works with dark print. When LIGHTEN is selected, the LIGHTEN lamp
lights.
PHOTO is used when faxing photographs or other documents containing color or
shades of grey. Although your machine wonÕt transmit color, it will print and send up
to 32 shades of grey. When PHOTO is selected, both LIGHTEN and DARKEN lamps
light.
NORMAL works well with standard typed or printed documents. When NORMAL is
selected, both LIGHTEN and DARKEN lamps are off.
