uses in sending faxes to best suit your particular document.
The machine has 5 resolution settings:
• is adequate for most text documents. • is suitable for documents with fine print (smaller than the print in this sentence).• is for documents that contain photographs. With this setting, areas of the document that 
contain photos are automatically scanned with 256 levels of gray, rather than just two (black and 
white). This gives a much better reproduction of the photos, though transmission time is longer. • is for documents that contain fine print and images (much smaller than the print in 
this sentence), and its resolution is four times of .• is for documents that contain fine print and images (much smaller than the print in 
this sentence), and its resolution is eight times of .
