Specifying the Color and Image Quality for Copying

[Auto Color]

The machine automatically selects [Full Color] or [Black] according to the color of the scanned original when copying.

[Full Color]

Print the copy in full color, regardless of whether the scanned original is in color or in black and white.

[Black]

Print the copy in black and white, regardless of whether the scanned original is in color or in black and white.

[2 Color]

Copy in the specified two colors. This will produce a lower cost color copy than one printed in full color.

In the scanned original, an area judged to be color is copied with the specified color, and an area judged to be black is copied in black.

[Single Color]

Copy in the specified single color. This will produce a lower cost color copy than one printed in full color.

The original is copied by converting the color differences (apparent color densities) and the gradation levels into density differences of the single color.

If you set [Average Density], the original is copied by converting the gradation levels into density differences of the single color regardless of the original color.

[Text]

Copy originals primarily containing text at the optimum image quality level.

Sharpen the edges of text to improve legibility.

[Text/Photo Printed]

Copy the original, which consists of text and photos, at the optimum image quality level.

Sharpen the edges of text, and smoothen photos.

Select this option to scan printed originals such as brochures and catalogs.

[Text/Photo PhotoPaper]

Copy the original, which consists of text and photos, at the optimum image quality level.

Sharpen the edges of text, and smoothen photos.

Select this option to scan originals in that include photos printed on photographic paper.

[Photo Printed]

Tap this button to copy an original consisting of only photos at the optimum image quality level.

Select this option to scan printed originals such as brochures and catalogs.

[Photo PhotoPaper]

Tap this button to copy an original consisting of only photos at the optimum image quality level.

Select this option for scanning originals printed on photographic paper.

[Dot Matrix Original]

Copy an original, that primarily consists of text such as thin or faint characters, at the optimum image quality level.

Darken the text to improve legibility.

[Map]

Copy an origin that has a colored background such as a map or an image drawn with a pencil or containing thin colored lines, at the optimum image quality level.

A sharp copy image is produced.

[Copied Paper]

Copy an original, which has been output with an even density from the copier or printer, at the optimum image quality level.

[Recall Image Adjustment Program]

Call the image quality adjustment program. The registered content of a program is applied.

For image adjustment program, you can register the settings of [Original Type], [Density], [Bkgd. Removal], [Text Enhancement], [Neg-/Pos. Reverse], [Background Color], [Color Adjust], and [Mirror Image]. For details on how to register, refer to Here.

[Background Removal]

Copy 2-sided originals made of thin paper and originals with colored background with optimal image quality.

• [Bleed Removal]: Select this option when you want to prevent bleeding of the back of the paper such as for 2-sided originals that are so thin that text or images on the back would also be scanned.

• [Paper Discoloration Adjustment]: Select this option for originals with colored background such as map.

[Background Removal Level]

Adjust the density of the background color for originals with colored background. If [Auto] is selected, the density of the background color is determined automatically, and the original is copied at the optimal background density level.

[Lighter Text]

If you want to enhance the background against text, adjust to the [Lighter Text] side.

[Standard]

Copy with the optimal balance between the background and text.

[Darker Text]

If you want to enhance text against the background, adjust to the [Darker Text] side.

[Brightness]

Adjust the brightness level.

[Contrast]

Adjust the shading of an image.

[Saturation]

Adjust the saturation level.

[Red]

Adjust the intensity of red.

[Green]

Adjust the intensity of green.

[Blue]

Adjust the intensity of blue.

[Hue]

Adjust the hue.

The hue refers to a color trend relative to discrete colors such as red, blue and yellow. By adjusting the hue, the image can attain more reddish or bluish tone, for example.

[Copy Density]

Adjust the copy density.

[Sharpness]

Sharpen the edges of the image to improve legibility.

Smoothen the rough contour or sharpen the blurred image.

[Color Balance]

Adjust the density for yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K). By changing the amount of each of the four toners, tints in the copy can be adjusted.
