9. COLOUR MODE
Tips:
● In the AUTO COLOUR mode, the colours of
originals are recognized during copying, so
the copying speed becomes slower.
● In the AUTO COLOUR mode,if the colour area
is too small or the colours are close to black
or they are too light, colour originals may be
copied in black. In this case, select the FULL
COLOUR mode.
● Yellowish originals or originals with a coloured
background may be automatically copied in
colour even though they are black-and-white.
To be certain to make the copies in the desired
mode, select FULL COLOUR or BLACK.
