Original Type Selection

You can manually select the original type according to the type of image.

Remark
  • If you scan 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 the original is a transparency, select the original type → adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.
  • As an example, the procedure for scanning an original and storing it in a mail box is explained in this section.
