Selecting the Original Type

Select an original type that is suitable for your originals.

There are five original types available:

Text

For originals that contain mainly text or printed characters.

Photo

For photographs or pictures.

Text / Photo

For originals that contain both text and photographs or pictures.

Generation Copy

For originals that are copied. The copy image can be reproduced sharply and clearly.

Pale

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

When you select [Text / Photo] or [Photo], you can specify the type of photo from the following:

Glossy Photo: Use when copying developed photographs
Printed Photo: Use when copying photographs or pictures that are printed on paper (e.g. magazines)
Copied Photo: Use when copying copies or originals generated by color copiers

Pressing [Original Types Guidance] on the [Others] screen displays explanations about the types of originals.
