CRYSTAL IMAGE FUNCTION

Your printer comes equipped with the Crystal Image picture optimisation function offering enhanced print quality.

Remark: crystal Image works independently of a PC.

Crystal Image consists of 2 components that can be utilised according to your needs:

• image optimisation,

• red-eye correction.

Warning:

red-eye correction is a complex process that may require extensive processing time.

Crystal Image automatically implements all the settings and corrections required with respect to the sharpness of the image as well as the colour and contrast management, in order to achieve the best possible print quality. What is more, exposure defects will also be corrected (e.g., under-exposed photos are made brighter, or parts of a photo prese nting strong contrasts will be compensated) . The red-eye correction function corr ects the red-eye phenomenon asso ciated with flash photography.

Activation/deactivation

Remark: by default, the "image optimisation" component of Crystal Image is activated and

"red-eye correction" is deactivated.

The following table indicates how many times you need to press the button to activate or deactivate the Crystal Image function.
