# Changing the Scan Settings (Fax)

This section describes how to change the following scan settings to send a fax.
"Resolution"
"Density"
"2-Sided Original"
"Sharpness"

For the instructions on how to send a fax, see "Basic Procedures for Sending Faxes."

## Resolution

Specify the resolution.
Higher resolutions result in better image quality but require longer transmission times.

<200 x 100 dpi (Normal)> | For faxes that contain text
<200 x 200 dpi (Fine)> | For faxes that contain fine text
<200 x 200 dpi (Photo)> | For faxes that contain photographs
<200 x 400 dpi (Superfine)> | For finer resolution than when specifying Fine

## Density

Specify the density.

[] key | Decrease the density.
[] key | Increase the density.

## 2-Sided Original

Specify the scanning settings for 2-sided documents.

<Off> | Do not specify the format settings for 2-sided documents.
<Book Type> | The vertical orientations of images on both sides are the same.
<Calendar Type> | The vertical orientations of images on both sides are inverse.

## Sharpness

Adjust the setting to emphasize the outline of the image or decrease the contrast.

[] key | To clearly scan halftone photos, adjust this setting to the appropriate level on the <-> scale. This can reduce the moiré (uneven gradation and striped patterns).
[] key | To clearly scan text or lines, adjust this setting to the appropriate level on the <+> scale. It is best suited for scanning blueprints and thinly penciled documents.
