Crystal
Image
Your multifunction machine has the image and text
enhancement function Crystal Image with which you
can achieve optimal printing and copying quality for
your image files and documents—both in colour and in
black-and-white.
²
Crystal Image functions independently from
a PC!
Crystal Image consists of three components that can be
used depending on the specific requirements:
¿ Text enhancement (in colour or black-and-white)
¿ Image enhancement (in colour or black-and-white)
¿ Red eye reduction
²
Red eye reduction is a complex process and
can take some time. Confirm the query
rED EYE on the display only if needed with
Reduction.
Using Crystal Image
Crystal Image text and image enhancement can be used
on documents that you have scanned with the flatbed
scanner, loaded from a memory card or transferred for
printing via Infrared. You can also use Crystal Image for
PictBridge print jobs.
²
Transfer the image files that you have en-
hanced with Crystal Image to the inserted
memory card to save them for later use (see chap-
ter Photo Printer / Transferring a Scan to a
Memory Card).
Crystal Image automatically performs all adjustments
and corrections with regard to image sharpness, colour
management and contrast in order to obtain the best
possible printing quality. Exposure errors are also cor-
rected (underexposed images are brightened or parts of
the image with extremely different contrasts are brought
into balance). The red eye reduction retouches "red eyes"
in flash photographs.
