Adjusting Sharpness

This mode enables you to adjust the sharpness level.

Low

If you use the Photo mode to make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed image, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. You can lessen this moiré effect and produce a clearer copy by using [Low] as the setting.

High

This setting enhances the edges of original images so that faint or fine text is reproduced with a sharper contrast. This setting is particularly suited for copying blueprints and faint pencil drawn images.
NOTE
The default setting is middle (center).
