Adjusting the quality of your documents ______
■ Setting the scanning resolution
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.
n The higher the resolution, the higher the output quality, but the slower the scanning speed.
