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, then 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 200 dpi—Recommended for documents with small print
Super fine 300 dpi—Recommended for original documents with fine detail
Ultra fine 600 dpi—Recommended for documents with pictures or photos
| Note: Fine 200 dpi and Super fine 300 dpi is displayed when color printing is selected. |
This option adjusts how light or dark your faxes will turn out in relation to the original document.
This option lets you change the Sides (Duplex), Orientation, and Binding settings.
Sides (Duplex)—Use to specify if the original document is simplex (printed on one page) or duplex (printed on both sides). This also identifies what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the fax.
Orientation—Use to specify the orientation of the original document, and then changes Sides and Binding to match the orientation.
Binding—Use to specify if the original document is bound on the long-edge or short-edge side.
This option displays the first page of the image before it is included in the fax. When the first page is scanned, the scanning is paused and a preview image appears.
This lets you send a fax at a later time or date.
Set up your fax.
From the home screen, navigate to:
Delayed Send > enter the date and time you want to send your fax > Done
| Note: If the printer is turned off when the delayed fax is scheduled to be sent, then the fax is sent the next time the printer is turned on. |
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.
Touching the Advanced Options button opens a screen where you can change the following settings:
Advanced Imaging—Use to adjust the Background Removal, Contrast, Color Balance, Negative Image, Mirror Image, Scan Edge to Edge, Shadow Detail, Sharpness, and Temperature settings before you fax the document.
Custom Job—Use to combine multiple scanning jobs into a single job.
Edge Erase—Use to eliminate 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.
Transmission Log—Use to print the transmission log or transmission error log.
