By pressingResolution button repeatedly after loading a document, you canchoose between STANDARD, FINE, or SUPER FINE mode.STANDARD works well for documents with normal sized characters.FINE is good for documents containing small characters or thin lines, orprint from a dot-matrix printer.SUPER FINE works well for documents containing extremely finedetail.
