Chapter 6 The following resolution settings are available for sending faxes: Fine, Very Fine, Photo, and Standard. The default setting is Fine. • Fine: provides high-quality text suitable for faxing most documents. This is the default setting. When sending faxes in color, the device always uses the Fine setting. • Very Fine: provides the best quality fax when you are faxing documents with very fine detail. If you choose Very Fine, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to complete and you can only send black-and-white faxes using this resolution. If you send a color fax, or send a fax using the Scan and Fax or Send Fax Later functions, the fax will be sent using Fine resolution instead. • Photo: provides the best quality fax when sending photographs in black and white. If you choose Photo, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to complete. When faxing photographs in black and white, HP recommends that you choose Photo. • Standard: provides the fastest possible fax transmission with the lowest quality.
