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 moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. If this happens, you can lessen the moiré effect by using the Sharpness mode. (See "Adjusting the Contrast (Sharpness).")
  • If you select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo Printout 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/Photo/Map Mode

This mode is best suited for originals containing text, images/photos, as well as fine graphics, such as those on a map.

  • Printed Image Mode

This mode is best suited for images printed with halftone dots.

  • Photo Printout Mode

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

  • Text Mode

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