Selecting Color Copying or Black and White Copying

Normally, the machine automatically detects whether the original is color or black and white for copying, but you can also specify it. For example, this enables you to use full-color mode or black and white mode accordingly, such as to save ink by copying color originals in black and white.

<Auto (Color/B&W)>

<Full Color>

Copies in four colors (CMYK), regardless of the color of the original.

<Black & White>

Copies in black (K) only, regardless of the color of the original.


Originals with colors close to black, originals with light colors, or originals with small color areas may be detected as black and white originals, even if you set <Auto (Color/B&W)>.

Adjusting Density

		Adjust the density of the scan if the text or images in an original are excessively light or dark. For example, you can sharpen text and lines written using a pencil. Adjusting Entire Density
