To select colors for copying ([Color])

To display:
  • [Copy]
    • [Color]

Select a color for copying.

Settings

Description

[Auto Color]

The machine automatically selects [Full Color] or [Black] according to the color of the scanned original when copying.

[Full Color]

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

[Black]

Print the copy in black and white, regardless of whether the scanned original is in color or in black and white.

[2 Color]

Copy 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]

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.

  • If the original is copied in black and white although you have selected [Auto Color], adjust the color judgment level. For details, refer to Here.
