Call the image quality adjustment program. The registered content of a program is applied.

For the image adjustment program, you can register the settings of [Original Type], [Density], [Bkgd. Removal], [Text Enhancement], [Neg-/Pos. Reverse], [Background Color], [Color Adjust], and [Mirror Image]. For details on the registration procedure, refer to Here.

To select a copy color ([Color])

To display:
  • [Classic Style]

      • [Color]

Select a copy color.

Setting

Description

[Auto Color]

Makes copies with color settings to suit the colors of the scanned original.

[Full Color]

Makes a copy in full color regardless of whether the scanned original is in color or in black and white.

[Black]

Makes a copy in black and white regardless of whether the scanned original is in color or in black and white.

[2 Color (Text Priority)]

Copies an original, which primarily consists of text, in the specified two colors. This will produce a lower cost color copy than one printed in full color.

In the scanned original, an area judged to be color is copied with the specified color, and an area judged to be black is copied in black.

[2 Color (Photo Priority)]

Copies an original, which primarily consists of photos, in the specified two colors. This will produce a lower cost color copy than one printed in full color.

In the scanned original, an area judged to be color is copied with the specified color, and an area judged to be black is copied in black.

[Single Color]

Makes a copy in the specified single color. This will produce a lower cost color copy than one printed in full color.

The original is copied by converting the color differences (apparent color densities) and the gradation levels into density differences of the single color.

If you set [Average Density], the original is copied by converting the gradation levels into density differences of the single color regardless of the original color.
