Operating Instructions Plain-paper Digital Fax F-320

Scan settings
Default setting: Primary document mode: Normal, Primary contrast: Normal
Two different settings tell your machine how to scan documents.The initial factory
settings are probably right for most applications,so try using them before changing
any of these settings:
• Primary document mode — Sets the document mode for your documents.
Choose either normal, fine, superfine (“S-Fine” on the LCD ) or grayscale mode
(“Gray”).
• Primary contrast mode — Sets how light or dark you want faxed documents
to be when they arrive at their destinations.
Note: These settings you choose effect your fax activity only.
To set these modes:
1
Press MENU ,2,2,0,1, ENTER . The LCD asks you to select a document mode:
2
Press or until the mode you want appears.
3
Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD asks you to select a contrast setting:
4
Press or until the mode you want appears.
5
Press ENTER to save the setting.
By following the steps above, you’ve set your defaults for scanning. Before sending
documents,you can “override” these default scan settings for that transmission.
To override the default document mode and contrast settings before sending a docu-
ment:
• Press DOCUMENT MODE to change the document mode.
• Press CONTRAST to change the contrast.
Once your document is transmitted, your machine returns to its default settings.
Setting ECM
Default setting: ON.
“Line noise,” or static on the line during a call, can easily disrupt the flow of data
from one fax machine to another.
That’s why your fax machine gives you the option of using Error Correction Mode
( ECM ). When two fax machines communicate while running in ECM , the sending
machine automatically checks the data as it sends. If the receiving fax machine can’t
verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send it as necessary.
Note: ECM gives you a better chance of transmitting a fax document over a bad
phone line, but it could also slow down the transmission time.The worse a
line is,the slower the transmission. That’s why the machine lets you turn
ECM on or off as needed.
Note: Not all fax machines have ECM . If you’ve activated ECM and then transmit to
a fax machine not currently using ECM , there will be no change in the fax
transmission from a usual, non- ECM transmission.
