* This adjustment will have an effect only on full-color printing.

Open the print dialog box. Set the value for "Sharpness" within a range of "1" to "4."

• Setting "+4" provides the sharpest print image.

* Initially, set "4" and check the printout. If further image quality adjustments are still necessary, refer to

<Hint> to do this.

* The menu to select varies according to the operating system. Refer to the table below and select the menu.

<Hint> In addition to the sharpness adjustment, decreasing "Brightness" (moving to the [-] side), changing

"Contrast" or increasing "Saturation" (moving to the [+] side) may improve the image quality.
