Change the fax resolution
The
Resolution
setting affects the transmission speed and quality of faxed black-and-
white documents. The HP All-in-One sends faxes at the highest resolution supported
by the receiving fax machine. You can only change the resolution for faxes that you
are sending in black and white. The HP All-in-One sends all color faxes using
Fine
resolution. The following resolution settings are available:
●
Fine
: provides high-quality text suitable for faxing most documents. This is the
default setting.
●
Very Fine
: provides the best quality fax when you are faxing documents with very
fine detail. If you choose
Very Fine
, be aware that the faxing process takes
longer to complete and you can only send black-and-white faxes using this
resolution. If you send a color fax, it will be sent using
Fine
resolution instead.
●
Photo
: provides the best quality fax when sending photographs. If you choose
Photo
, be aware that the faxing process takes longer to complete. When faxing
photographs, we recommend that you choose
Photo
.
●
Standard
: provides the fastest possible fax transmission with the lowest quality.
This setting returns to the default setting after the job has been completed, unless you
set your changes as the default. For information, see
Set new default settings
