This machine comes with two Automatic Color Selection modes. You can also manually select the Full Color, Grayscale, or Black-and-White mode whenever necessary.

• The default setting is [Auto (Color/Gray)].

• If the Preview mode is set, you can verify the images from the Preview screen before sending your document. (See "Preview.")

• To cancel all settings, press (Reset).

• 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.

• 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. Color originals are scanned in the Full Color mode, while black-and-white originals are scanned in the Black-and-White mode.

• When [Auto (Color/Gray)] or [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-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 originals contain light color densities

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

• If the color sections are located only on the left side on the left side (within 3/8" (10 mm) from the left edge) or on the right side (within 5/8" (17 mm) from the right edge) of the originals when placing the originals into the feeder
  

• 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.

• Grayscale

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

• Black & White

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

1. Place your originals and specify the destination → press the Select Color button.

2. Select [Auto (Color/Gray)], [Auto (Color/Black)], [Full Color], [Grayscale], or [Black & White] → [OK].

• If you set the color mode to [Auto (Color/Black)] and select PDF (Trace), PDF (Compact), XPS (Compact) as the file format, the color mode is automatically changed to [Auto (Color/Gray)] when scanning. If you want to send the document in the Auto (Color/Black) mode, change the file format to anything other than PDF (Trace), PDF (Compact), XPS (Compact).

• If you set the color mode to [Black and White] and select PDF (Trace), PDF (Compact), XPS (Compact) as the file format, the color mode is automatically changed to [Grayscale] when scanning. If you want to send the document in the Black-and-White mode, change the file format setting to anything other than PDF (Trace), PDF (Compact), XPS (Compact).

• When PDF (Trace), PDF (Compact), XPS (Compact) is selected as the file format, if you specify [Auto (Color/Black)] or [Black & White] as the color mode and press [OK], a message asking for your confirmation to change the file format appears on the screen.

• If [OOXML] is selected as the file format, you can only send in [Auto (Color/Gray)], [Full Color], or [Grayscale].
