Adjusting the Quality of Your Documents

Setting the Scanning Resolution

Resolution is a measure of the fineness or clarity of a printout. Low resolutions may cause text
and graphics to have a jagged appearance, while higher resolutions provide smoother curves
and lines, crisp text and graphics, and a better match to traditional typeface designs.
Note
Using a higher resolution will increase the output quality, but will slow down the scanning speed.

Note
You can change the resolution setting while the document is being scanned for sending. However,
please note that your new setting will only affect the next page scanned.

Setting the Scanning Contrast

Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed
