Note

  • When the sizes of the format and original to be overlaid on the format are different, the image is created at the size of the overlaid original.

  • When scanning a format, the output image may be blurred. If this happens, copy the format, and then use it as the format.

  • When using Format Overlay, image may become faint.

  • You cannot change the image density of a format. To achieve a desired image density, scan an original with the image density changed beforehand.
