SCANNER/INTERNET FAX
Contents How to select the resolution
For normal text originals, 200X200dpi (200X100dpi in Internet fax mode) produces an image that is sufficiently legible. 
For photos and illustrations, a high resolution setting (600X600dpi, etc.) will produce a sharp image. However, a high 
resolution setting will result in a large file, and if the file is too large, transmission may not be possible. In this event, 
reduce the number of pages scanned or take other measures to decrease the file size.

CHANGING THE FILE FORMAT
Changing the format
(Scan mode, USB memory mode and Data entry mode)
The file format (file type and compression mode/compression ratio) for sending a scanned image can be changed at the 
time of transmission. In addition, if the scanned originals are divided into separate files, the number of pages per file can 
be changed.
 When using the document glass to scan multiple original pages, the resolution setting can be changed each time you 
change pages. When using the automatic document feeder, the resolution setting cannot be changed once scanning has 
begun. (However, when Job Build is used in the special modes, the resolution can be changed each time a new set of 
originals is inserted.)
 When [TIFF-S] is selected for the format in Internet fax mode, only [200X100dpi] or [200X200dpi] can be selected.
System Settings (Administrator): Initial Resolution Setting
This is used to change the default resolution setting.
The file format for sending a scanned image is specified when the destination is stored in a one-touch key; however, you can 
change the format at the time of transmission.

●Scanning in Mono2
(1) Select the file type.
To send a file using Encrypt PDF, touch the [Encry.] 
checkbox to select it ( ).
(2) Select the compression mode.
●Scanning in colour/greyscale
(1) Touch the indicated key to select 
[Colour/Grey] mode.
When [Colour/Grey] is highlighted, [Colour/Grey] mode is selected.
(2) Select the file type.
 To send a file using Encrypt PDF, touch the [Encry.] 
checkbox to select it ( ).
 When Enhanced compression  kit is installed, the [High] 
and [U-Fine] checkboxes appear. To suppress image 
quality deterioration and reduce the data size of a file to 
be transmitted, Compact PDF can be selected. [U-Fine] 
can only be selected when Compact PDF is set.
(3) Select the compression ratio.
 High results in a smaller file size, however, the image 
quality is slightly degraded.
 When [High] is selected in the file format settings, the 
compression ratio cannot be selected.
 The [Programmed] key does not appear in USB memory mode.
 When this screen is displayed, the setting screen of [B/W] mode initially appears.
 The format setting of [B/W] mode is the file format when the colour mode is set to [Mono2].

The format setting of [Colour/Grey] mode is the file format when the colour mode is set to [Full Colour] or [Greyscale].
 The file type of [B/W] mode and the file type of [Colour/Grey] mode are linked. The file type cannot be set separately 
for each. (When [JPEG] is selected for [Colour/Grey] mode, [TIFF] is automatically selected for [B/W] mode.)

Note the following when the file format is set to Compact PDF ([PDF] is selected and the [High] checkbox is set to  ):
- When Compact PDF is set for one address in a broadcast transmission, the file will be sent as a Compact PDF 
file to all scanner addresses.
- When Compact PDF format or Compact PDF (Ultra Fine) format is set for one address in a broadcast 
transmission, the file will be sent in Compact PDF (Ultra Fine) format to all scanner addresses.
- If a fax destination is specified or the resolution is set after Compact PDF is set, the Compact PDF setting will be 
cancelled, the file format will be [PDF], and the compression ratio will be [High].
- If Compact PDF is set when a resolution setting has been specified in scanner (or other) mode, the resolution 
setting will be cancelled and the Compact PDF resolution will be used for transmission.
- When Compact PDF is selected, [Resolution] cannot be changed while waiting for the next original or in 
[Configure] in the job build settings.

Contents Changing the format (Internet fax mode)
The file format for sending an Internet fax is normally set to [TIFF-F]. If the destination Internet fax machine does not 
support full mode (it only supports simple mode), follow the steps below to select [TIFF-S].
1
Switch to Internet fax mode and display the file format settings screen.
(1) Touch the [Internet Fax] tab.
(2) Touch the [File Format] key.
☞IMAGE SETTINGS (page 5-53)
2
Select the file format.
(1) Touch the key of the desired format.
If you selected [TIFF-F], select the compression mode.
(2) Touch the [OK] key.
When [TIFF-S] is selected, the transmission settings are restricted as follows:
 Resolution: The selections are [200X100dpi] and [200X200dpi]. If [TIFF-S] is selected after [200X400dpi], 
[400X400dpi] or [600X600dpi] is selected, the resolution automatically changes to [200X200dpi].
 Send size: Always A4R (8-1/2 x 11R). If [TIFF-S] is selected after the send size is changed, the send size is 
automatically changed to A4R (8-1/2 x 11R). If a size larger than A4 (8-1/2 x 11) is scanned, the size 
will automatically be reduced to A4R (8-1/2 x 11R). When this format is included in a broadcast 
transmission, the image will be transmitted to all destinations at A4R (8-1/2 x 11R).
 Special modes: When a ratio setting is selected and the original size is entered, Dual Page Scan, Card Shot, 2in1, and 
Mixed Size Original cannot be used.

STORING SCAN OPERATIONS (Programs)
A destination, original settings, and functions can be stored in a program. When you wish to use those settings to send 
an image, they can be retrieved with ease.
For example, suppose A4 (8-1/2 x 11) size documents are scanned into a file and sent to each branch office once a month.
(1) The same documents are sent to each branch office
(2) Each page of a bound document is successively transmitted
(3) Smudges on the edges of the documents are erased before transmission
When a job program is not storedWhen a job program is stored
Enter the address of each branch office.
Select Dual Page Scan.
Select Erase settings.
Press the [START] key.
The originals are scanned and transmitted.Touch a stored program key.
Press the [START] key.
The originals are scanned and transmitted.
Considerable time is required to send the documents each 
month because the above settings must be selected.
In addition, mistakes may occasionally be made when 
selecting the settings, so incorrect transmissions may occur.When a program is used, settings are selected with ease by 
simply pressing the stored key.
In addition, transmission takes place based on the stored 
settings so there are no chances for mistakes.
Programs are stored, edited, and deleted using Address Control in the system settings. See Program (page 
7-19) in 7. SYSTEM SETTINGS.

Programs can also be stored in the Web pages. Click [Job Programs] and then [Image Send] in the Web page menu.
 The settings stored in a program will be retained even after the program is used for transmission. The same settings can 
be used repeatedly for transmission.
 The following settings can be stored in programs.
Image send mode: Scan, Internet fax
