If the original contains photographs, illustrations, or diagrams with complex shading patterns or grays, select the appropriate original type to optimize image clarity.
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.
Text / Line Art
Select [Text / Line Art] to send high-contrast black-and-white graphic originals at improved resolution. The [Text] mode gives priority to scanning speed; [Text / Line Art] mode gives priority to scanning quality.
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.
Photo
Select [Photo] to send an original containing a halftone image, such as a photograph or a color original.
Press [Scan Settings].
Make sure that [Original Type] is selected.
Select the original type you require, and then press [OK].
If you select [Text / Line Art], [Text / Photo], or [Photo], the transmission will take longer than when [Text] is selected.
If you send a fax document with [Text / Line Art], [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 Density (Contrast).
