Fax Settings

Select the menus on the control panel as described below.

Fax > Fax Settings

Scan Settings:
Original Size (Glass):

Select the size and orientation of the original you placed on the scanner glass.

Original Type:

Select the type of your original.

Color Mode:

Select whether to scan in color or in monochrome.

Resolution:

Select the resolution of the outgoing fax. If you select a higher resolution, the data size becomes larger and it takes time to send the fax.

Density:

Sets the density of the outgoing fax. + makes the density darker, and - makes it lighter.

Remove Background:

Select the darkness of the background. Tap + to lighten (whiten) the background and tap - to darken (blacken) it.

If you select Auto, the background colors of the originals are detected, and they are removed or lightened automatically. It is not applied correctly if the background color is too dark or not detected.

Sharpness:

Enhances or defocuses the outline of the image. + enhances the sharpness, and - defocuses the sharpness.

ADF 2-Sided:

Scans both sides of originals placed in the ADF and sends a monochrome fax.

ADF Continuous Scan:

When sending a fax from the ADF, you cannot add originals in the ADF after starting scanning. If you place different sized originals in the ADF, all of the originals are sent at the largest size among them. Enable this option so that the printer asks if you want to scan another page after an original in the ADF has finished scanning. Then you can sort and scan your originals by size and send them as a single fax.

Fax Send Settings:
Direct Send:

Sends a monochrome fax while scanning the originals. Since scanned originals are not stored temporarily in the printer's memory even when sending a large volume of pages, you can avoid printer errors due to a lack of memory. Note that sending using this feature takes longer than not using this feature. See the related information below on this topic.

You cannot use this feature when:

  • Sending a fax using the ADF 2-Sided option

  • Sending a fax to multiple recipients

Priority Send:

Sends the current fax before other faxes waiting to be sent. See the related information below on this topic.

Send Fax Later:

Sends a fax at a time you specified. Only a monochrome fax is available when using this option. See the related information below on this topic.

Add Sender Information:
  • Add Sender Information

    Select the position where you want to include the header information (sender name and fax number) in the outgoing fax, or not to include the information.

    - Off: Sends a fax with no header information.

    - Outside of Image: Sends a fax with header information in the top white margin of the fax. This keeps the header from overlapping with the scanned image, however, the fax received by the recipient may be printed across two sheets depending on the size of the originals.

    - Inside of Image: Sends a fax with header information approximately 7 mm lower than the top of the scanned image. The header may overlap with the image, however, the fax received by the recipient will not be split into two documents.

  • Fax Header

    Select the header for the recipient. To use this feature, you should register multiple headers in advance.

  • Additional Information

    Select the information you want to add. You can select one from Your Phone Number, Destination List, and None.

Notify Send Result:

Sends a notification after you send a fax.

Transmission Report:

Prints a transmission report after you send the fax.

Print on Error prints a report only when an error occurs.

When Attach Fax image to report has been set in Settings > General Settings > Fax Settings > Report Settings, faxes with errors are also printed with the report.

Backup:

Saves a backup of the sent fax that is scanned and saved to the printer's memory automatically. The backup feature is available when:

  • Sending a fax in monochrome

  • Sending a fax using the Send Fax Later feature

  • Sending a fax using the Batch Send feature

  • Sending a fax using the Store Fax Data feature
