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.

For black & white sending, set the resolution as follows:

1Make sure the light above Colour/B&W is turned off.

If not, press Colour/B&W to turn it off.

2 Press Image Quality to select the resolution

Ex:

setting you want.

1Press Colour/B&W to turn on its light.

nYou can change the resolution setting while the document is being scanned for sending. However, please note that your new setting will only be effective from the next page scanned.
