Original Type

To optimize image clarity, select the appropriate original type.

The following settings for original types are available:

Text

Select Text to send high-contrast black-and-white image originals. Use this setting when you only want to send clearer text, even if the original contains text and photographs.

Photo

Select Photo to send an original containing a halftone image, such as a photograph or a color original.

Text / Photo

Select Text / Photo to send an original containing both a high-contrast black-and-white image, such as text, and a halftone image, such as a photograph.

Press the [Original] key for the type you require.
Press the [Original] key to switch between Text, Photo, and Text / Photo.

If you select Photo or Text / Photo, the transmission will take longer than when Text is selected.
If you send a fax document with Text / Photo, or Photo and the background of the received image is dirty, reduce the density setting and resend the fax. For details about setting the image density, see "Image Density (Contrast)".
You can set the original type that is selected right after the machine is turned on or whenever the [Clear Modes] key is pressed. See "Setting Transmission Function Defaults (Home Position)".
