Basic Copying Features
Original Type Selection
The machine is capable of processing and producing copies according to the type
of the original. You can manually select the original type so that the machine
reproduces copies as faithful as possible to the original. The following four original
type modes are available.
IMPORTANT
• Combinations of these four modes (Text/Photo/Map, Printed Image, Photo, and Text)
cannot be selected at the same time. If you select one of these modes, the previously set
mode is canceled.
• If you make copies of 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 using the Sharpness mode. (See "Adjusting the Contrast (Sharpness)," on p.
7-14.)
NOTE
If the original is a transparency, select the original type ➞ adjust the exposure to the most
appropriate level for the original.
■ Text/Photo/Map Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies of originals containing text, images/photos, as
well as fine graphics, such as those on a map.
■ Printed Image Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies of images printed with halftone dots.
■ Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies of photos printed on photographic paper.
■ Text Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies of text originals. Blueprints or pencil drawn
originals can also be copied clearly.
