Original Type Selection

Text Mode

This mode is best suited for scanning text originals. Blueprints or pencil drawn originals can also be scanned clearly.

Text/Photo Mode

This mode is best suited for scanning originals containing text and photos.

Photo Mode

This mode is best suited for scanning photos printed on photographic paper, or photo originals containing halftones (e.g., printed photos).

note:

- 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.
