Type of Original

If the original contains photographs, illustrations, or diagrams with complex shading patterns or grays, select the appropriate type of original to optimize image clarity.

Text

Select [Text] using the Original Selection key 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/Photo

Select [Text/Photo] using the Original Selection key 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] using the Original Selection key to send an original containing a halftone image, such as a photograph or a color original.

Note

  • If you select [Text/Photo] or [Photo] using the Original Selection key, the transmission will take longer than when [Text] is selected.

  • If you send a fax document with [Text/Photo] or [Photo] selected using the Original Selection key 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).

  • You can specify the original type immediately after the machine turns on or after the [Reset] key is pressed. See Administrator Tools.
