Copy Settings ([Basic])

Selecting the copy color ([Color])

The original is copied using the selected color.

There are five color modes: [Auto Color] to copy based on the original color, [Full Color], [2 Color], [Single Color], and [Black].

  1. Tap [Basic] - [Color].

    Settings

    Description

    [Auto Color]

    Tap this button to automatically select [Full Color] or [Black] according to the color of the scanned original when copying.

    [2 Color]

    Tap this button to make a copy in the specified two colors. This costs less than making a full color copy.

    Tap this button to make a copy in full color mode regardless of the color of the scanned original.

    [Black]

    Tap this button to make a copy in black and white regardless of the color of the scanned original.

    [Single Color]

    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.

Selecting the size and type of copy paper ([Paper])

This machine selects paper automatically based on the size of the detected original when making a copy. If necessary, you can specify a paper type or size different from that of the original to make a copy.
