Original Type Selection
You can manually select the original type according to the type of image. The following three original type modes are available.
Text/Photo
Photo
Text
IMPORTANT
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).")
NOTE
If you select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo 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 Mode
This mode is best suited for originals containing text, images/photos.
Photo 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.
