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.

• The higher the resolution, the higher the output quality, but the slower the scanning and transmission speed.

-B&W PHOTO

Setting the Scanning Contrast

Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed document. You can select from three levels of scanning contrast the machine uses to send faxes. Select according to how light or dark/deep the document is.

• You can also set the scanning contrast for sending from the MultiPASS Suite. (→ MultiPASS Suite User’s Guide)
