Copy Exposure and Image Quality Adjustments

2-10

Basic Copying Features

Image Quality (Manual)

This mode enables you to adjust the image quality to the level best suited to the

quality of text or photo originals.

IMPORTANT

Combinations of these three modes (Text, Text/Photo, and Photo) cannot be set at once.

If you select one of these modes, the previously set mode is canceled.

NOTE

• The default setting is ‘TEXT’.

• If you select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode, the exposure can be adjusted only by

the manual exposure control. The automatic exposure control cannot be selected.

• If the original is a transparency, select the Text, Text/Photo, or Photo mode and adjust the

exposure to the most appropriate level.

■ Text Mode

This mode is best suited for making copies from text originals. Blueprints or penciled

originals can be copied clearly.

■ Text/Photo Mode

This mode is best suited for making copies from originals containing both text and photos.

■ Photo Mode

This mode is best suited for making copies from photos printed on photographic paper, or

photo originals containing halftones (i.e., printed photos).

IMPORTANT

If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed photograph

using the Photo mode, moiré may occur. If this happens, you can soften this moiré effect

by adjusting the Sharpness level. (See “Sharpness,” on p. 4-11.)
