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.
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. |
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.
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
This option adjusts how light or dark your faxes will turn out in relation to the original document.
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.
