Selecting Image Quality
You can adjust image quality to the level best suited for the quality of text or photo originals. The
following three modes are available for adjusting image quality:
IMPORTANT
•
You must select only one of these modes. You cannot use a combination of these modes at one time.
NOTE
•
When you select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode, the exposure can be adjusted only by Manual
Exposure Control. Automatic Exposure Control cannot be selected.
•
When the <Photo Mode> in Copy Settings is set to <On>, you can select [Printed Image] or [Photo] after
pressing drop-down list. (See “Setting the Photo Mode for the Copy Function”, on p. 3-9.)
•
If the original is a transparency, select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode, and adjust the exposure to
the most appropriate level.
■
Text Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies from text originals. Blueprints or pencilled originals
can be copied clearly.
■
Text/Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies from originals containing both text and photos.
■
Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies from photos printed on photographic paper, or photo
originals containing halftones (i.e., printed photos).
IMPORTANT
•
If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed photograph using the Photo
mode, moiré or screen clash may occur. If this happens, you can soften this moiré effect by using the
Sharpness mode. (See “Making Sharp Contrast Copies (Sharpness)”, on p. 2-71.)
The world’s coral reefs, where
brilliantly colored fish and a
myriad of other tropical creatures
come together. Aptly nicknamed
“Tropical Forests under the sea”,
these spots of breathtaking
beauty serve as home to
countless varieties of life, and to
us of the land, this alluring,
dream-like world forms a tropical
paradise filled with romance.
