Changing the scan resolution on your Sharp copier can significantly improve the quality of your scans. Whether you need high-resolution scans for detailed documents or low resolution for quick email attachments, here’s how you can adjust it.
Step-by-Step Guide: Changing Scan Resolution
Step 1: Load Your Document
Place the document you want to scan into the document feeder or on the glass plate of the copier.
Step 2: Access the Scan Menu
-
On the home screen of your Sharp copier, tap the “Scan” button.
-
Depending on your model, you may need to select “Scan to Email,” “Scan to Folder,” or just “Scan” if you’re scanning directly to a USB.
Step 3: Adjust the Resolution
-
On the Scan Settings screen, look for the “Resolution” option. This could be found under “Basic Settings” or “Advanced Settings.”
-
Tap Resolution, and you’ll see several options, such as:
-
Standard (200 dpi) — Good for regular documents.
-
Fine (300 dpi) — Ideal for documents requiring more detail.
-
Superfine (600 dpi) — Best for high-quality scans (e.g., photos or fine prints).
Choose the resolution that best fits your needs.
-
Step 4: Confirm Settings
After selecting your desired resolution, hit “OK” or “Apply” to save your changes.
Step 5: Start Scanning
Now you’re ready to scan your document! The copier will use the chosen resolution for the scan.
Pro Tip
-
Higher resolutions (like 600 dpi) produce clearer scans but also create larger file sizes.
-
Lower resolutions (like 200 dpi) are smaller but may lose detail.
