Beyond the Basics
The EasyStart feature guided you through the “just-gotta” settings on your machine.
In the next few pages, we’ll cover additional settings.
Scan settings
Three different settings tell your machine how to scan documents:
• Primary resolution mode — Sets the resolution for your documents. Choose
either normal, fine, superfine (“S Fine” on the
LCD
) or greyscale mode (“Gray”).
• Primary contrast mode — Sets how light or dark you want faxed documents
to be when they arrive at their destinations.
• Scanning width — Sets how wide an area your machine scans for each page.
To set these modes:
1
Press /
PROGRAM
,
J
,0,1,
ENTER
. The
LCD
asks you to select a resolution:
2
Press or /
PROGRAM
until the mode you want appears. In this example,
we’ve chosen fine resolution.
3
Press
ENTER
to save the setting. The
LCD
asks you to select a contrast setting:
4
Press or /
PROGRAM
until the mode you want appears. In this example,
we’ve chosen light contrast.
5
Press
ENTER
to save the setting. The
LCD
asks you to select a scanning width:
For most uses, “
A
4” is the proper setting. It scans the central 208 mm of each
page. But for documents with an unusual width, you may want to use the “
B
4”
setting, which scans the central 252 mm of each page. (See “
A
4,
B
4” in the
Glossary on page 3.15.)
6
Press or /
PROGRAM
until the mode you want appears. In this example,
we’ve chosen “
A
4”.
7
Press
ENTER
to save the setting.
By following the steps above, you’ve set your defaults for scanning. Before sending
documents, you can “override” these default scan settings for that transmission.
To override the default resolution and contrast settings before sending a document:
• Press
RESOLUTION
to change the resolution.
• Press
CONTRAST
to change the contrast.
Once your document is transmitted, your machine returns to its default settings.
