Adjusting the Density and Image Quality

3-11

Specifying the Scan Settings

IMPORTANT

• Combinations of these three modes ([Text], [Text/Photo], and [Photo]) cannot be

selected at the same time. If you select one of these modes, the previously set mode

is canceled.

• If you use the Photo mode to scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed

image, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. In this case, you can

lessen the moiré effect by adjusting the scanning contrast (sharpness). (See

“Adjusting the Contrast (Sharpness),” on p. 7-15.)

NOTE

If you adjust the scan density automatically in step 3, this setting is disabled.

● If you select [Text/Photo]:

[Photo]: This mode is best suited for scanning photos printed on

photographic paper, or photo originals containing halftones (e.g.,

printed photos).

❑ Press the original type drop-down list ➞

select [Priority Level].

IMPORTANT

[Priority Level] is not available when

[B&W] is selected as the color mode.

❑ Press [Text Priority] or [Photo Priority] to

adjust the degree of priority for text or

photo images ➞ press [OK].

[Text Priority]: Priority is given to the faithful reproduction of text.

[Photo Priority]: Priority is given to the faithful reproduction of photos, with as little

moiré effect as possible.
