For most faxes and copies, default settings will work well. If you need to send/copy a document with unusual contrast characteristics, including images/embedded pictures, you can adjust the resolution and contrast for that document using the control panel buttons. TIP: You can also change the default settings for all documents using the menu. See BASIC FAX menu on page 11. We recommend you use documents with a high contrast, such as, documents printed using a high quality printer, felt tip pen, black ink, or typewriter. The paper should be white or very light, and of normal weight, not cardboard or onionskin. Blue lines on a ruled pad don't fax well.

HP Fax basics

Set document resolution and contrast for a single copy

Document resolution and contrast are set in the same manner for both faxes and copies.

For most faxes and copies, default settings will work well.

If you need to send/copy a document with unusual contrast characteristics, including

images/embedded pictures, you can adjust the resolution and contrast for that

document using the control panel buttons.

TIP:

You can also change the default settings for all documents using the menu.

See

BASIC FAX menu

on page 11.

We recommend you use documents with a high contrast, such as, documents printed

using a high quality printer, felt tip pen, black ink, or typewriter. The paper should be

white or very light, and of normal weight, not cardboard or onionskin.

Blue lines on a ruled pad don’t fax well. For more information on the types of paper you

can use for documents, see

Document types and sizes

on page 20.

NOTE:

You must set the resolution and contrast before dialing the number.

Turn the page face down and insert it into the document feeder. For more

information, see

Load documents to fax or copy

on page 2.

•

characters.

•

FINE

•

SUPER FINE

for example, a map or engineering drawing.

SUPER FINE

remote machine also has the

SUPER FINE

feature.

NOTE:

SUPER FINE mode is not used when sending documents scanned into memory

(i.e., Broadcasting and Delayed Fax). If you are sending document using one of

these methods, SUPER FINE will be changed back to FINE even though you selected
