Original Type Selection

You can manually select the original type according to the type of image. The following three original type modes are available.


Remark
  • If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed photo, the moirĂ© effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. If this happens, you can lessen the moirĂ© effect by using the Sharpness mode. (See "Adjusting the Contrast (Sharpness).")
  • If you select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode, the exposure can only be adjusted manually. Automatic exposure adjustment cannot be used.
  • If the original is a transparency, select the original type → adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.

  • Text Mode

This mode is best suited for making copies of text originals. Blueprints or pencil drawn originals can also be copied/scanned clearly.

  • Text/Photo Mode

This mode is best suited for originals containing both text and photos.

  • Photo Mode

This mode is best suited for photos printed on photographic paper.
