Adjusting The Contrast (Sharpness) - Canon Color imageRUNNER C3480 Manual

Adjusting the Contrast (Sharpness)

This mode enables you to scan and record, or make copies of the originals with a
sharper or softer contrast. To reproduce text or lines with a sharper contrast, use
[High] as the setting. To scan/copy originals containing printed photographs or
other halftones with a softer contrast, use [Low] as the setting.
IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see
"Combination of Functions Chart," on p. 9-6.
■ Low
If you make copies, or scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed
photograph, using the Printed Image mode, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern)
may occur. However, you can lessen this moiré effect by using [Low] as the setting to
produce a clearer copy (image).
■ 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 to scanning and copying
blueprints and faint pencil drawn images.
