Improving the image quality, Brightness | Oce North America TDS600

Improving the image quality

You can improve the image quality by modifying the exposure setting, or making use of special functions. You will learn how to switch on and off automatic background compensation, how to use the lighter and darker buttons to achieve the best possible copy quality, or how to adjust the brightness based on the type of image you want to copy.

Brightness

You can change the brightness of a print or copy by modifying the exposure of the scanner. The exposure can be set to lighter and darker.

▼Set the exposure

1Press the ‘Exposure’ function button and use the arrow buttons to set the exposure as desired.

Note: The Up and Down arrow buttons can be used to gradually increase or decrease the exposure setting; the Left or Right arrow buttons can be used to go to the highest or lowest available exposure level at once. If you want to go from any negative value to the highest possible positive value, or vice versa, you have to press the appropriate Left or Right button twice.

Automatic background compensation

The automatic background compensation will provide a good quality copy from a large variety of originals. The automatic background compensation setting, which is switched on (by default), ensures the production of background-free copies of most line drawings.
