Specifying the Original Type

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 / 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.

Note

  • If you select [Text / Photo] or [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 [Settings] Screen.
