easily fax broadcast information to an entire group.

Understanding fax options
Original Size
This option opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to fax.
Touch a paper size button to select that size as the Original Size setting. The fax screen appears with your new
setting displayed.
When Original Size is set to Mixed Letter/Legal, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes.
When “Original Size” is set to Auto Size Sense, the scanner automatically determines the size of the original
document.
Content
This option tells the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photograph. Color can be
turned on or off with any of the Content choices. Content affects the quality and size of your scan.
Text—Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background
Text/Photo—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures
Photograph—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the time it
takes to scan, but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This
increases the amount of information saved.
Color—Sets the scan type and output for the fax. Color documents can be scanned and sent to a fax destination.
Note: Color is not available when Fax is in Fax Server Mode.
Sides (Duplex)
This option informs the printer if the original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both
sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the fax. Faxing118
Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							Resolution
This options increases how closely the scanner examines the document you want to fax. If you are faxing a photo, a
drawing with fine lines, or a document with very small text, increase the Resolution setting. This will increase the amount
of time required for the scan and will increase the quality of the fax output.
Standard—Suitable for most documents
Fine—Recommended for documents with small print
Super fine—Recommended for original documents with fine detail
Ultra fine—Recommended for documents with pictures or photos
Darkness
This option adjusts how light or dark your faxes will turn out in relation to the original document.
Advanced Options
Touching this button opens a screen where you can change Delayed Send, Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Transmission
Log, Scan Preview, Edge Erase, and Advanced Duplex settings.
Delayed Send—Lets you send a fax at a later time or date. After setting up your fax, touch Delayed Send, enter the
time and date you would like to send your fax, and then touch Done. This setting can be especially useful in sending
information to fax lines that are not readily available during certain hours, or when transmission times are cheaper.
Note: If the printer is turned off when the delayed fax is scheduled to be sent, the fax is sent the next time the
printer is turned on.
Advanced Imaging—Adjusts Background Removal, Color Dropout, Contrast, Mirror Image, Negative Image, Shadow
Details, Scan Edge to Edge and Sharpness before you fax the document
Custom Job—Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job
Transmission Log—Prints the transmission log or transmission error log
Scan Preview—Displays the image before it is included in the fax. When the first page is scanned, the scanning is
paused, and a preview image appears.
Edge Erase—Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of a document. You can choose to eliminate an
equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is within the
area selected, leaving nothing on that portion of the scan.
Improving fax quality
QuestionTip
When should I use Text
mode?
Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the fax, and preserving images
copied from the original document is not a concern.
Text mode is recommended for faxing receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that
contain only text or fine line art.
When should I use
Text/Photo mode?
Use Text/Photo mode when faxing an original document that contains a mixture of text and
graphics.
Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
