Setting the Image Quality
To set the image quality, select the resolution the machine uses to copy. 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.
Adjusting the Copy Exposure
You can select the copy exposure the machine uses one of from nine levels. Select according to how light or dark
your document is.
