Canon MPC600F/400 manual Setting the Scanning Resolution, Setting the Scanning Contrast

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.

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)
