Resolution
This option lets you adjust the quality of the fax output. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time
needed to scan your original document. Decreasing the image resolution reduces the file size.
Select from the following values:
•Standard—Use this when faxing most documents.
•Fine 200 dpi—Use this when faxing documents with small prints.
•Super Fine 300 dpi—Use this when faxing documents with fine details.
Darkness
This option lets you adjust how light or dark the faxes are in relation to the original document.
Color
This option lets you set the output to either color or monochrome for the scanned image.
Page Setup
This option lets you change the following settings:
•Sides (Duplex)—This specifies if the original document is printed on one side or on both sides of the page (duplex). This also
identifies what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the fax.
•Orientation—This specifies the orientation of the original document, and then changes the Sides (Duplex) and Binding settings
to match the orientation.
•Binding—This specifies if the original document is bound on the long‑edge or short‑edge side.
Custom Job
This option lets you combine multiple scan jobs into a single job and appears only when a working printer hard disk is installed.
Scan Preview
This option lets you view the first page of the image before it is included in the fax. When the first page is scanned, the scanning
is paused and a preview image appears.
Note: This option appears only when a working printer hard disk is installed.

Image, Scan Edge to Edge, Shadow Detail, Sharpness, and Temperature settings before you fax the document.
Edge Erase
This option lets you remove smudges or any mark around the edges of a document. You can remove an equal area around all
four sides of the paper, or you can pick a particular edge. Edge Erase also removes whatever is within the area selected, leaving
nothing on that portion of the scan.
Transmission Log
This option lets you print the transmission log or transmission error log.
