Photo

Select Photo to send an original containing a halftone image, such as a photograph or a colour original.

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.

1Press the [Original] key for the type you require.

Note

  • If you select Photo or Text / 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 “Image Density (Contrast)”.

  • You can set the original type that is selected right after the machine is turned on or whenever the [Clear Modes] key is pressed. See “Setting Transmission Function Defaults (Home Position)”.
