The Mail Box comes with the Automatic Color Selection mode, which recognizes whether an original is in color or black, and then automatically switches between the Full Color mode and Black mode. You can also manually switch between the Full Color and Black modes whenever necessary.

The Advanced Box, Network, and Memory Media come with two types of the Automatic Color Selection modes, which recognize whether an original is in color or black-and-white. One automatically switches between the Full Color mode and Black-and-White mode, while the other switches between the Full Color mode and Grayscale mode. You can also manually switch the Full Color, Black-and-White, and Grayscale modes whenever necessary.

• For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."

• The default settings are as follows:

• Mail Box: Auto (Color/Black)

• Advanced Box, Network, and Memory Media: Auto (Color/Gray)

• You can store the desired color mode as a default in [Change Default Settings]. (See "Specifying the Scan and Store Settings.")

• As an example, the procedure for scanning an original and storing it in a mail box is explained in this section.

• Modes for the Mail Box

• Auto(Color/Black)

If the Auto(Color/Black) mode is selected, the machine automatically recognizes whether the original is in color or black-and-white, and then switches the color mode. Color originals are scanned in the Full Color mode, while black-and-white originals are scanned in the Black mode.

• When [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 following conditions. To avoid this, set the color mode to 'Full Color'.

• If the originals contain a few color sections

• If the color sections of the originals are close to black

• If the originals contain light color densities

• Full Color

The Full Color mode always scans in color regardless of whether the original is in color or black-and-white.

• If a black-and-white original is scanned in the Full Color mode, it is counted as a color scan.

• Black

The Black mode always scans in the Black mode regardless of whether the original is in color or black-and-white.

• Modes for the Advanced Box, Network, and Memory Media

• Auto(Color/Black)

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-and-White mode.

• When the Auto (Color/Black) mode 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-and-White mode under the following conditions. To avoid this, set the color mode to 'Full Color'.

• If the originals contain a few color sections

• If the color sections of the originals are close to black

• If the originals contain light color densities

• Auto(Color/Gray)

If the Auto(Color/Gray) mode is selected, 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.

• When the Auto (Color/Gray) mode 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 Grayscale mode under the following conditions. To avoid this, set the color mode to 'Full Color'.
