Original Type Selection
You can manually select the original type according to the type of image that you
are scanning. The following three original type modes are available for adjusting the
image quality.
IMPORTANT
•
Combinations of these three modes (Text/Photo, Photo, and Text) cannot be selected at
the same time. If you select one of these modes, the previously set mode is canceled.
•
If you scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed image, using the Photo
mode, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. In this case, you can
lessen this moiré effect by using the Sharpness mode. (See "Adjusting the Contrast
(Sharpness)," on p. 4-13.)
NOTE
•
If you select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode, the scanning exposure can only be
adjusted manually. Automatic exposure adjustment cannot be set.
•
If the original is a transparency, select the original type
➞
adjust the exposure to the most
appropriate level for the original.
■ Text/Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for scanning originals containing both text and photos, such as
magazines or catalogues.
■ Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for scanning photos printed on photographic paper, or photo
originals containing halftones (e.g., printed photos).
