Descriptions
Pale (Low-Density Mode)
Pale achieves image quality comparable with text mode, but of lower contrast. Pale
employs an MTF filter stronger than that employed by the text mode and uses a
darker γ coefficient, thus increasing the incidence of copying textured backgrounds.
Ideal for copying extremely thin originals. Soft employs an MTF filter weaker than
Normal, thus achieving a softer image with less moiré. Sharp employs an MTF filter
stronger than that of Normal, thus increasing the sharpness of lines.
