Choosing the Image Options for Server Faxes
Server Fax scans your documents and sends them to any type of fax machine that is connected to
a telephone network. Your images are sent from your device to a third party fax server, which relays
them over the telephone network to the fax number of your choice.
Note: This option must be made available by your System Administrator.
If Authentication or Accounting has been enabled on your device you may have to enter login
details to access the Server Fax features.
Use the Lighten / Darken options to manually adjust the lightness or darkness of the image. Light
originals containing pencil images may produce better output if the darkness is increased. Dark
originals such as halftones or documents with colored backgrounds may need to be lightened.
