7-4 Sending Faxes Chapter 7
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.
nThe higher the resolution, the higher the output quality, but the slower the scanning speed.
