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.
Text / Photo
For originals that contain both text and photographs or pictures.
Photo
For photographs or pictures.
Pale
For originals that have lighter lines written in pencil, or faintly copied slips.
Generation Copy
For originals that are copied. The copy image can be reproduced sharply and clearly.
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 selection screen displays explanations about the types of originals.
If the shaded parts of your copies appear uneven, select [Text] or [Photo] for a smoother printout.
