Sharpness
Adjust the sharpness of image outlines. When copying penciled originals with rough or broken lines, clear
copies can be taken by adjusting sharpness toward [Sharpen]. When copying images made up of patterned
dots such as magazine photos, in which moire* patterns appear, edge softening and weakening of the moire
effect can be obtained by setting the sharpness toward [Unsharpen].
* Patterns that are created by irregular distribution of halftone dots.
