Beyond the basics
2.2
Getting everything just the way you want it
The EasyStart feature (see pages 1.19–1.20) guided you through the basic settings on
your machine. In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings.
Setting up for scans
You can set three parameters regarding how your machine scans documents
for faxing.
•
Primary transmission mode — Gives you four ways to send faxes: either one of
the three resolution modes — normal, fine or superfine (“S Fine” on the display)
— or in greyscale mode (“Gray”).
•
Primary contrast mode — Sets how light or dark you want faxed documents to
be when they arrive at their destinations.
•
Scanner width — Sets how wide an area your fax machine scans per page.
Note:
This setting doesn’t effect copies you may make with your machine.
