Adjusting the Quality of Your Documents
zSetting 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.
Note
Using a higher resolution will increase the output quality, but will slow down the scanning speed.
