Adjusting Image Quality

The Xerox Nuvera user interface contains a set of Image Quality adjustment tools for Copy, Scan to File and Print jobs. Using these controls, you can make adjustments to images containing text, photographic images, halftoned images, as well as documents with mixed image types. This is useful if the original document is less than perfect; i.e., text/images are too light or too dark.

To learn more about these capabilities, explore the links at the left.

  3. Determine the condition of the image on the original document.
  4. Click on the Basic tab, then use the Darken/Lighten control to make small corrective adjustments.
  5. Click on the Image Quality tab, then click on the Image Adjustments button. Use the Contrast, Sharpness and Background Suppression controls to make small corrective adjustments.

To adjust image quality on print jobs

  1. Open the Print Properties window for a print job and click on the Image Quality tab.
  2. Click on the Print Adjustment button.
  3. Click on Mode to select darkness mode.
  4. Use the Print Darkness control to make small corrective adjustments.

TIP: If you copy/scan a great number of the same type of original documents, you can set custom image quality defaults. For example, if the majority of your copying/scanning is of dark photographic content, the system defaults can be set to accommodate this, saving you job programming time. To set up your system defaults to match your original input, contact your System Administrator.
