Text/Photo

For originals that contain both text and photographs or pictures.

Pale

For originals that have lighter lines written in pencil, or faintly copied slips.

Generation Copy

Dark Background

When you copy originals with dark background such as color tab stock (orange, green, or blue), you can remove the background color in three levels.

You can select whether or not to display the keys for the original on the initial display under Original Photo Type Priority in User Tools. For details about Original Photo Type Priority, see "General Features".
To display [Dark Background], you must set [Dark Background] to [On] and [Original Type Display] to [Hide] under General Features. On the copy function's initial screen, press [Original Type], and then select [Dark Background]. For details, see "General Features".
If you select [Dark Background], the auto image density function is disabled, but the manual image density function is enabled.
