Changing Color Modes
This machine comes with two Automatic Color Selection modes. Automatic Color
Selection (Full Color/Grayscale) detects and distinguishes color originals from
grayscale originals, while Automatic Color Selection (Full Color/Black-and-White)
detects and distinguishes color originals from black-and-white originals. Depending
on the Automatic Color Selection mode that you select, the machine automatically
switches between the Full Color and Grayscale modes, or between the Full Color
and Black-and-White modes. You can also manually select the Full Color,
Grayscale, or Black-and-White mode whenever necessary.
IMPORTANT
If the destination is a fax number, the original is always scanned and sent in the
Black-and-White mode.

■ Automatic Color Selection (Full Color/Grayscale)
If the Automatic Color Selection (Full Color/Grayscale) mode is selected, the machine
automatically recognizes whether the original is in color or black-and-white. Color
originals are scanned in the Full Color mode, while black-and-white originals are scanned
in the Grayscale mode.
IMPORTANT
When the Auto-Color Select mode is set and your originals contain color sections, the
machine scans them in the Full Color mode. However, the machine may scan the color
originals in the Grayscale mode under the following conditions. To avoid this, set the color
mode to 'Full Color'. (See "Full Color," on p. 3-22.)
- If the originals contain a few color sections
- If the color sections are located only on the left side (within 3/8" (10 mm) from the left
edge) of the originals when placing the originals into the feeder
- If the originals contain light color densities
- If the color sections of the original are close to black
