Setting

Description

[Simplex/Duplex]

Select the side to scan the original (Simplex/Duplex).

[Binding Position]

Select the binding position of the original when scanning both sides of the original.

  • [Auto]: The binding position of the original is specified automatically. When the long side of the original is 11-11/16 inches (297 mm) or less, the binding position is set to the long side of the paper. When the long side of the original exceeds 11-11/16 inches (297 mm), the binding position is set to the short side of the paper.

  • [Left Bind]: Select this option when the binding position is set to the left of the original.

  • [Top Bind]: Select this option when the binding position is set to the top of the original.

Scanning a number of originals in several batches ([Separate Scan])

If the number of original sheets is so large that they cannot be loaded into the ADF at the same time, you can load them in several batches and handle them as one job. You can also scan the original using both ADF and Original Glass alternately.

  1. Load the original.

    NOTICE
    • Do not load more than 130 sheets (21-1/4 lb (80 g/m)) at a time into the Original Tray of the ADF, and do not load the sheets up to the point where the top of the stack is higher than the Down-pointing triangle mark. Doing so may cause an original paper jam, original damage, or ADF failure.

  2. Set [Separate Scan] to ON.

  3. Use the Start key to start scanning.

  4. Load the next original.

    supplementary explanationIf necessary, tap [Change Setting] to change the scan settings.

  5. Use the Start key to start scanning.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to scan all the originals.

  7. After all originals have been scanned, select [Finish].

  8. Use the Start key to start transmission.

Scanning originals with folds ([Z-Folded Original])

If a folded original is loaded into the ADF, the original size may not be able be detected accurately. To scan the folded original on the ADF, set this option to ON.

Scanning originals of different sizes ([Mixed Original])

Even for an original with pages of different sizes, when the width of the original to be scanned is the same, by using the ADF, you can scan data while detecting the size of each page.

Image and Density Settings

Specifying the resolution to scan the original ([Resolution])

Select a resolution to use to scan the original.

Setting

Description

[Normal]

Select this option to scan originals that do not require a fine level of image quality, or when you want to send a large number of originals quickly.

[Fine]

Select this option to scan a standard original.

[Super Fine]

Select this option to scan originals containing small characters or drawings.

[Ultra Fine]

Select this option to scan originals that require a fine level of image quality.

Selecting the appropriate image quality level for the original ([Original Type])

Select the optimum settings for the original to scan it in the optimum image quality.

Setting

Description

[Text]

Scans an original that consists primarily of text at the optimum level of image quality.

This function sharpens the edges of each character, creating easy-to-read images.

[Text/Photo]

Scans an original consisting primarily of text and photos at the optimum image quality level.

This function sharpens the edges of each character and reproduces smoother photos.

[Photo]

Scans an original consisting of only photos at the optimum image quality level.

[Dot Matrix]

Scans an original, which consists primarily of text such as thin or faint characters, at the optimum image quality level.

This function reproduces text using high pixel density, creating easy-to-read text.

Adjusting the density to scan the original ([Density])

Adjust the density (Dark or Light) to scan the original.

Adjusting the background density of the original to be scanned ([Bkgd. Removal])

You can adjust the density of the background area for originals with colored backgrounds (newspaper, recycled paper, etc.) or originals that are so thin that text or images on the back would be scanned.

Setting

Description

[Bleed Removal]

Adjust the density of the background color to prevent bleeding of the back of the paper when printing a 2-sided original that is so thin that the contents of the back side would be scanned. Selecting [Auto] automatically determines the density of the background color, and scans an original at the optimum background density level.

[Discolor Adj.]

Adjust the density of the background color to scan an original with a colored background such as a map. Selecting [Auto] automatically determines the density of the background color, and scans an original at the optimum background density level.

Fax-Specific Settings

Setting a fax line type ([Line Setting])

Specify how to send a fax based on the line conditions.

Setting

Description

[Overseas TX]

This mode is used to send a fax to areas where communication conditions are poor. Faxes are sent at a lower speed.

[ECM V34]

ECM is an error correction mode defined by ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector). Fax machines equipped with the ECM feature communicate with each other, confirming that the sent data is free of errors. This prevents image blurring caused by telephone line noise. Communication time can be reduced by setting ECM to OFF for transmission. However, an image error or communication error may occur depending on the specified communication time value, so change the value to suit conditions.

V.34 is a communication mode used for the Super G3 fax communication. When the remote machine or this machine is connected to a telephone line via PBX, however, you may not establish a communication in the super G3 mode depending on telephone line conditions. In this case, it is recommended that you turn the V.34 mode off to send data.

Sending one scanned page at a time ([Quick Memory TX])

As one page is scanned, fax transmission starts. Generally, transmission begins after all pages have been scanned and saved in memory (Memory TX). With Quick Memory TX, many pages can be faxed without causing memory overflow.

If you want to show the total number of pages in the Number of Pages column of sender information, set [Specify the Number of Originals] to ON, and enter the total number of pages of the original in [Number of Originals]. With this information, the destination can see the remaining number of pages to be received.
