Adjusting the Density and Image Quality
You can adjust the density and image quality of scanned originals for sending. The density setting enables you to adjust the lightness/darkness of scanned originals for sending. The image quality setting enables you to improve the image quality of scanned originals for sending, simply by selecting the original type ([Text], [Text/Photo], or [Photo]) that closely matches your originals. Based on the selected original type, the machine automatically adjusts the image quality to the most suitable level for your originals.
