Basic faxing

You cannot use this machine as a fax via the internet phone. For more information ask your internet service provider.
We recommend using traditional analog phone services (PSTN: Public Switched Telephone Network) when connecting telephone lines to use a fax machine. If you use other Internet services (DSL, ISDN, VolP), you can improve the connection quality by using the Micro-filter. The Micro-filter eliminates unnecessary noise signals and improves connection quality or Internet quality. Since the DSL Micro-filter is not provided with the machine, contact your Internet service provider for use on DSL Micro-filter.

Preparing to fax

Before you send or receive a fax, you need to connect the supplied line cord to your telephone wall jack. Refer to the Quick Installation Guide how to make a connection. The method of making a telephone connection is different from one country to another.

Sending a fax


	When you place the originals, you can use either the document feeder or the scanner glass. If the originals are placed on both the document feeder and the scanner glass, the machine will read the originals on the document feeder first, which has higher priority in scanning.

Place a single document face down on the document glass, or load the documents face up into the document feeder (see Loading originals).
Select (fax) on the control panel.

Or select Fax > Manual Send > (settings) on the touch screen.
Adjust the resolution and the darkness to suit your fax needs (see Adjusting the document settings).
Enter the destination fax number.
Press Start on the control panel. The machine starts to scan and send the fax to the destinations.


	If you want to send a fax directly from your computer, use Samsung Network PC Fax (see Advanced Guide). When you want to cancel a fax job, press (Stop/Clear) before the machine starts transmission. If you used the scanner glass, the machine shows the message asking to place another page.

	Accessing menus may differ from model to model (see Accessing the menu). It may be necessary to press OK to navigate to lower-level menus for some models.

Resolution

The default document settings produce good results when using typical text-based originals. However, if you send originals that are of poor quality, or contain photographs, you can adjust the resolution to produce a higher quality fax.


	The resolution setting is applied to the current fax job. To change the default setting (see Advanced Guide).

Standard: Originals with normal sized characters.

Super Fine: Originals containing extremely fine detail. Super Fine mode is enabled only if the machine with which you are communicating also supports the Super Fine resolution.


	For memory transmission, Super Fine mode is not available. The resolution setting is automatically changed to Fine. When your machine is set to Super Fine resolution and the fax machine with which you are communicating does not support Super Fine resolution, the machine transmits using the highest resolution mode supported by the other fax machine.

Photo Fax: Originals containing shades of gray or photographs.

Color Fax: Original with colors.
