are functioning properly.

2. The Fax function

Elements of the Fax Panel:

1 Fax function button: Click on this button to

display the Fax Panel.

2 Parameter buttons: Click on any or all four of

these buttons to change parameters for faxing.

a) Doc. contents: This refers to the original

document or photo you are scanning. The
following options are provided: Text and
line art; Photo; Newspaper; Magazine; and
Art Magazine.

Note: The options Newspaper, Magazine,

and Art Magazine take substantially longer

processed further after a scan is complete.

b) FAX device: Lists the printer drivers in

your computer that also drive your fax.

c) Resize: Lists the resizing scales. To

customize sizes, click the Up / Down
arrows. The upper right-hand corner will
reflect the scaled-down look.

tray, and other variables.

of the scan. Click on the left arrow on the dial
to decrease brightness or the right arrow on the
dial to increase brightness.

Note: If faxing a picture, you may need to set
the Brightness setting to 20 or higher, since
some fax machines print images very darkly.

settings. Clicking on the Custom button
displays the Custom dialog box (shown in the
previous section).
