Switching the Color Mode
You can set the color mode to use for the scan.
Types of Color Modes
Auto (Color/Black)
If you select the Auto (Color/Black) mode, the machine automatically recognizes whether the original is in color or black-and-white. Color originals are scanned in the Full Color mode, while black-and-white originals are scanned in the Black mode.
Auto (Color/Gray)
If you select the Auto (Color/Black) mode, the machine automatically recognizes whether the original is in color or black-and-white. Color originals are scanned in the Full Color mode, while black-and-white originals are scanned in the Grayscale mode.
Full Color
The Full Color mode always scans in the Grayscale mode regardless of whether the original is in color or black-and-white.
Black & White
The Black & White mode always scans in black-and-white regardless of whether the original is in color or black-and-white.
Grayscale
The Grayscale mode always scans in the Grayscale mode regardless of whether the original is in color or black-and-white.
The color modes that you can select vary depending on the storage location.

IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."
When [Auto (Color/Gray)] or [Auto (Color/Black)] is set and your originals contain color sections, the machine scans them in the Full Color mode. However, the machine may scan the color originals in the Black mode under the conditions below. To avoid this, set the color mode to [Full Color].
If the originals contain very few color sections
If the color sections of the originals are close to black
If the originals contain light color densities
If the color sections are located only in the range indicated by the diagram below, when loading the originals in the feeder
NOTE
If you want to select a mail box and scan a color image to it, it is necessary to expand the memory capacity of the machine with the Additional Memory Type A (512MB).
If a black-and-white original is scanned in the Full Color mode, it is counted as a color scan.
You can register a desired color mode as the default setting by changing the default scan settings. (See "Specifying the Scan and Store Settings.")
