Customizing Settings
Sharpness
This setting enables you to make copies of the original image with a sharper or a softer contrast. To reproduce copies with text or lines with a sharper contrast, select [F3] (SHARP) as the setting. To reproduce copies with photographs or other halftones with a softer contrast, select [F2] (DULL) as the setting.
■Dull
If you make copies of an original image containing halftones, such as a printed photograph, using the Photo mode, moiré may occur. However, by using [F2] (DULL), you can soften this moiré effect so that the copy is easier on the eyes.
