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.
• The higher the resolution, the higher the output quality, but the slower the scanning and transmission speed.

- B&W PHOTO

Setting the Scanning Contrast
Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed document. You can
select from three levels of scanning contrast the machine uses to send faxes. Select according to how light or
dark/deep the document is.
• You can also set the scanning contrast for sending from the MultiPASS Suite. (
