Selecting the Original Type

Select an original type that is suitable for your originals.

There are eight 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.

Map

For map originals.

Highlight Pen

For originals marked with a highlighter pen.

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.

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 [Photo Type] screen displays explanations about the types of originals.

For details about how to use the Copier function, see Procedure for Selecting the Original Type.
