Specifying the Color Mode and Resolution
You can specify the color mode and resolution of scanned originals for sending. The color mode setting enables you to select whether to scan originals in black-and-white or color. The resolution setting enables you to send documents with fine text and images clearly by changing resolution from low to high. The higher the resolution, the higher the output quality, but the longer the sending time.
