Press

(Main Menu) → [Copy].

Press [Options] → [Original Type].

Select the original type.

To adjust the text/photo processing priority level, press [Text/Printed Image], [Text/Photo Printout], [Map], or [Color Copy Original].

Then press [Adjust Level] → select [Text Priority] or [Photo Priority] → press [OK].

[Text Priority]:	Priority is given to the faithful reproduction of text.
[Photo Priority]:	Priority is given to the faithful reproduction of photos, with as little moiré effect as possible.

You can adjust the text/photo priority level. If you want to reproduce text as faithfully as possible, press [Text Priority], → move the indicator to the left. If you want to reproduce photos as faithfully as possible, press [Photo Priority] → move the indicator to the right.

Press [OK] → [Close].

IMPORTANT
If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed photo, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. If this happens, you can soften the effect by using [Sharpness]. (See "Adjusting the Image Sharpness.")

NOTE
If the original is a transparency/clear/translucent film, select the original type → adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.
