Guida rapida alla regolazione della qualità dell’immagine

Introduction

If you are not satisfied with the output quality of color images, refer to this manual and make adjustments accordingly. For copy images, refer to the chapter on copies. For printer output images, refer to the chapter on printer drivers. Make sure to use special color copying paper when printing in color. If you don’t, print qualities such as density and hue could be affected.

If the number of copies printed is extremely large or extremely small, or if a single sheet is continuously printed at an extremely high or extremely low print ratio, the print quality could suffer.

Introduction

Si la qualité de l’affichage des images en couleur ne vous satisfait pas, référez-vous à ce manuel et faites les ajustements idoines. Pour la copie d’images, référez-vous au chapitre traitant des copies. Pour les images sorties sur imprimante, référez-vous au chapitre traitant des pilotes d’imprimante. Assurez-vous d’utiliser du papier à copier couleur spécial quand vous imprimez en couleur. Si vous ne le faites pas, les qualités d’impression telles que la densité et la tonalité pourraient en être affectées.

Si le nombre de copies imprimées est très important ou très faible, ou si une seule feuille est imprimée en continue à une cadence très élevée ou très faible, la qualité d’impression pourrait en pâtir.

Introducción

Si no está satisfecho con la calidad de salida de las imágenes en color, consulte este manual y realice los ajustes necesarios. Para copiar imágenes, consulte el capítulo dedicado a las copias. Para imágenes de salida de la impresora, consulte el capítulo sobre controladores de la impresora. Asegúrese de que utiliza papel especial para copias en color cuando realice impresiones en colores. De no hacerlo, componentes de la calidad de la impresión tales como la densidad y la tonalidad podrán verse afectados.

Si el número de copias que se imprimen es extremadamente grande o extremadamente pequeño, o si se imprime una sola página continuamente a una tasa de impresión extremadamente alta o extremadamente baja, podría verse afectada la calidad de la impresión.

Einführung

Wenn Sie mit der Ausgabequalität von Farbbildern nicht zufrieden sind, nehmen Sie die entsprechenden in diesem Handbuch angegebenen Justierungen vor. Hinweise zum Kopieren von Bildern finden Sie im Kapitel über das Kopieren. Hinweise zur Druckausgabe von Bildern finden Sie im Kapitel über Druckertreiber. Bitte beachten Sie, dass beim Drucken in Farbe spezielles Farbkopierpapier verwendet werden sollte. Mit anderem Papier könnte die Druckqualität in Dichte und Farbton vermindert werden.

Falls Sie extrem viele oder wenige Kopien drucken, oder falls ein einzelnes Blatt kontinuierlich bei extrem großen oder kleinen Druckbild-Verhältnissen bedruckt wird, könnte die Druckqualität leiden.

Introduzione

Se la qualità delle immagini a colori ottenute non fosse soddisfacente, fare riferimento a questo manuale ed eseguire le regolazioni necessarie. Per immagini fotocopiate, fare riferimento al capitolo Copia. Per immagini inviate alla stampante, fare riferimento al capitolo Driver stampante. Verificare che venga utilizzata la carta speciale per fotocopiatura a colori quando si stampa a colori. In caso contrario, si può avere un effetto negativo sulle caratteristiche di stampa, come ad esempio la densità e la tonalità.

Se il numero di copie stampate è molto grande o molto piccolo, o se viene stampato un solo foglio in continuazione con un rapporto di stampa molto grande o molto piccolo, la qualità di stampa può peggiorare.

Other Functions

Adjusting Sharpness

This function allows you to clearly copy text and lines by adjusting sharpness to [Sharpen] when the original you are copying was written in pencil, or the text and lines are broken or unclear. You can also weaken the moiré effect by softening the contours and adjusting sharpness to [Unsharpen]. Use this setting when copying images with halftone dots such as photos in magazines.

One-Touch Image Quality Adjustment
