(2) Enter adjustment mode [05]. Change the values for codes [1675/1676] to adjust the threshold value in the

Auto color mode.

* As the set value is increased, the original will be more likely to be recognized as black-and-white. On the

other hand, if the value is decreased, it will be more likely to be recognized as full color.

Threshold to adjust

[05] code

Acceptable

value range

Default

Threshold when an original is manually
placed on the original glass

05-1675

0 to 255

Threshold when an original is placed on the
original glass from the RADF (MR-3018)

05-1676

0 to 255

* Set the value in increments of approximately 20, while checking the copy image until the optimum value is

obtained.

Precautions after the completion of the adjustment

• When a non-standard sized original is copied, an area outside the original (or the original cover) may also be

scanned. This may prevent the original size from being accurately detected. If the original cover is soiled, the

type of original cannot be accurately detected. Therefore, instruct the users to clean the original cover on a

routine basis (once a week).

• After the threshold in the Auto color mode is adjusted, based on a particular type of original, other types of

original may not be correctly detected. Therefore, carefully perform the adjustment, while checking whether

any type of original is correctly detected.
