Additional options when faxing The following settings are available in the Options list when faxing. NOTE: The following list contains the master set of options available for HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP printers. Some options are not available on all printers. Original Sides Resolution Original Size Content Orientation Image Adjustment Optimize Text/Picture Erase Edges NOTE: This feature is not available for all firmware versions. You might need to update the printer firmware to use this feature. Blank Page Suppression Multi-feed Detection Notification Specify whether the original document is printed on one side or both sides. Specify the resolution of scanned images. Select a higher resolution to increase the clarity of the image. However, as the resolution increases, the file size also increases. Specify the paper size for the original document. Specify whether the original document is printed in Portrait or Landscape orientation. Sharpness: Clarify or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text appear crisper, but decreasing it could make photos appear smoother. Darkness: Increase or decrease the amount of white and black used in colors in scanned images. Contrast: Increase or decrease the difference between the lightest and the darkest color on the page. Background Cleanup: Remove faint colors from the background of scanned images. For example, if the original document is printed on colored paper, use this feature to lighten the background without affecting the darkness of the image. Automatic Tone: Available for Flow printers only. For original documents that have at least 100 characters of text on the page, the printer can detect which edge is the top of the page, and it orients the scanned images appropriately. If some of the pages are upside-down in relation to the other pages, the resulting scanned image has all pages right-side-up. If some of the pages have a landscape orientation, the printer rotates the image so that the top of the page is at the top of the image. Optimize the job for the type of image being scanned: text, graphics, or photos. Remove scan defects such as dark borders, staple marks, or hole-punch marks by "erasing" the specified edges of the scan job. Exclude blank pages in the original document from scanned images. This feature is useful for scanning pages printed on both sides to eliminate blank pages in the resulting scanned document. Enable or disable multi-feed detection. When enabled, scanning stops when the printer detects more than one page at a time being fed in the document feeder. When disabled, scanning continues when a multi-feed is detected, to allow scanning pages that are stuck together, originals with self-adhesive notes on them, or thick paper. Select whether to send notifications of the status of scan jobs. The printer can print the notification, or it can send the notification in an email. 146 Chapter 7 Fax ENWW

Additional options when faxing

The following settings are available in the

Options

list when faxing.

NOTE:

The following list contains the master set of options available for HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP printers.

Some options are not available on all printers.

Original Sides

Specify whether the original document is printed on one side or both sides.

Resolution

Specify the resolution of scanned images. Select a higher resolution to increase the clarity of the

image. However, as the resolution increases, the ﬁle size also increases.

Original Size

Specify the paper size for the original document.

Content Orientation

Specify whether the original document is printed in Portrait or Landscape orientation.

Image Adjustment

Sharpness

: Clarify or soften the image. For example, increasing the sharpness could make text appear

crisper, but decreasing it could make photos appear smoother.

Darkness

: Increase or decrease the amount of white and black used in colors in scanned images.

Contrast

: Increase or decrease the diﬀerence between the lightest and the darkest color on the page.

Background Cleanup

: Remove faint colors from the background of scanned images. For example, if the

original document is printed on colored paper, use this feature to lighten the background without

aﬀecting the darkness of the image.

Automatic Tone

: Available for Flow printers only. For original documents that have at least 100

characters of text on the page, the printer can detect which edge is the top of the page, and it orients

the scanned images appropriately. If some of the pages are upside-down in relation to the other

pages, the resulting scanned image has all pages right-side-up. If some of the pages have a landscape

orientation, the printer rotates the image so that the top of the page is at the top of the image.

Optimize Text/Picture

Optimize the job for the type of image being scanned: text, graphics, or photos.

Erase Edges

NOTE:

This feature is not

available for all ﬁrmware

versions. You might need to

update the printer ﬁrmware to

use this feature.

Remove scan defects such as dark borders, staple marks, or hole-punch marks by “erasing” the

speciﬁed edges of the scan job.

Blank Page Suppression

Exclude blank pages in the original document from scanned images. This feature is useful for scanning

pages printed on both sides to eliminate blank pages in the resulting scanned document.

Multi-feed Detection

Enable or disable multi-feed detection. When enabled, scanning stops when the printer detects more

than one page at a time being fed in the document feeder. When disabled, scanning continues when a

multi-feed is detected, to allow scanning pages that are stuck together, originals with self-adhesive

notes on them, or thick paper.

Notiﬁcation

Select whether to send notiﬁcations of the status of scan jobs. The printer can print the notiﬁcation, or

it can send the notiﬁcation in an email.
