Selecting Image Quality (Fax)

Return to Overview

You can manually select the original type according to the type of image that you are scanning.
The default setting is <Text/Photo>.


Remark
  • Combinations of these three modes (Text/Photo, Photo, and Text) cannot be selected at the same time. If you select one of these modes, the previously set mode is canceled.
  • If you scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed image, using the <Photo> mode, the moirĂ© effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. In this case, you can lessen this moirĂ© effect by using the sharpness mode. (See "Adjusting Sharpness (Fax).")
  • If the original is a transparency, select the original type and adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.
