You can manually adjust the image quality according to the type of original.

• 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 moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. In this case, you can lessen this moiré effect by using the Sharpness mode. (See "Sharpness.")

• If the original is a transparency, select the original type → adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.
