Change the fax resolution

The

Fax 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. All color faxes will be sent 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
