Basic operation

Resolution, grayscale

Reviewing resolution and grayscale:

• Normal resolution (“

NORM

” on the control panel) is suitable for most typed

documents and simple drawings.

• Fine resolution (“

FINE

” on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli-

cated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents.

• Superfine resolution (“

FINE

” on the control panel, “S Fine” on the

LCD

)

reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

• Grayscale mode (“

HALFTONE

” on the control panel; “Gray” on the

LCD

) captures

shades in photos and drawings.

Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models receive it only in fine

mode. However, you can send a fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax
machine currently in use.

To change the resolution setting, press

RESOLUTION

repeatedly.

A glowing

LED

indicates the fax is using the setting named by

that

LED

. For example, in the drawing (right), the machine is set

for

FINE

resolution.

Contrast

Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or dark-
ness, as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.

To change the contrast setting, press

CONTRAST

repeatedly.

Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just

remember — “Light lightens” and “Dark darkens” — to
keep it straight.

Mixing resolution and contrast in a multiple page

When you send the document with more than one page, you can select different res-
olutions and contrasts for each page.
Insert your documents, select resolution and contrast for first page, dial and press

START

. Then follow one of the following two procedures.

When the document is placed in the

ADF

Select resolution and contrast before the next page is scanned.

When the document is placed on the

FBS

glass:

Remove the previous page and place the next page.

Select resolution and contrast. Then press

NEXT DOC

Dialling pause

Some long-distance systems require dialling pauses, and pauses can also be useful
when you’re dialling through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause, just press

REDIAL

PAUSE

. (The pause character (

) will appear on

the

LCD

.) Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set two seconds.

For example, pressing 9,

REDIAL

PAUSE

, 19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7

2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.
Helpful Tip: You can change the dialling pause length within 2 to 10 seconds.

(see “Changing the pause length,” page 4.5.)

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail

Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And any
service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep your fax
machine from receiving fax calls.
If you use only one line for both phone and fax, consult your telephone company to
see how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax
machine.
