Purpose of the Imaging Manual

The Imaging Manual is intended for customers using the Toshiba e-STUDIO281c/351c/451c with a variety of specific needs and inquiries for high image quality, such as:

xHow to obtain a clearer copy image

xHow to maintain the current image quality

xHow to make the text look sharper on the copy

The Toshiba MFPs are factory-configured to provide image quality settings that satisfy the majority of customers. However, these settings may not be necessarily optimal for all specific needs from customers. Proper image quality adjustments can satisfy such needs. Most of the adjustments described in this manual must be performed by a service technician, but a few of them can also be performed by the customer.

It is strongly recommended that this manual be fully utilized by not only the service technician, but also the sales representative, who also has opportunities of obtaining customer feedback on the image quality. This manual helps the sales representative to study and comprehend what kind of customer needs for the image quality can be satisfied, to make a proposal to the customer for improving image quality, and to communicate the customers needs with ease to the service technician. In addition, this manual is expected to facilitate the marketing of the Toshiba MFPs to prospective customers that have specific demand for image quality and the expansion of sales.

The adjustments described in this manual are all based on the needs of actual customers. Meeting their specific needs will increase their satisfaction.

Please remember to read "Cautions after the completion of the adjustment," which you must pay close attention to, after the completion of the adjustment.
