Sharpness - Kyocera TASKalfa 5500i Operation Manual

Sharpness

Adjust the sharpness of image outlines. When copying penciled originals with rough or broken lines, clear copies
can be taken by adjusting sharpness toward [Sharpen]. When copying images made up of patterned dots such
as magazine photos, in which moire* patterns appear, edge softening and weakening of the moire effect can be
obtained by setting the sharpness toward [Blur].
The table below shows the available settings.
