Edge emphasis and smoothing are carried out.
• Edge Emphasis (Text Image)
The outlines of characters and fine lines are made
sharper as they appear on the copy by correcting the
MTF (modulation transfer function) characteristics
(resolution).
*MTF: Modulation Transfer Function
• Smoothing (Photo Image)
Image noise contained in the solid area of the image
is reduced to smooth the image, thereby improving
image quality of photos.
