Select the desired Mail Box → press [Scan].
3.
Press [Original Type].

To adjust the text/photo processing priority level, select [Text/Printed Image], [Text/Photo Printout], [Map], or [Color Copy Original] → press [Adjust Level] → select [Text Priority] or [Photo Priority] → press [OK].
NOTE
|
If the memory media is selected as the storage location, select [Text/Photo] → press [Adjust Level] → select [Text Priority] or [Photo Priority] → press [OK] to adjust the text/photo processing priority level.

[Text Priority]: Priority is given to the faithful reproduction of text.
[Photo Priority]: Priority is given to the faithful reproduction of photos, with as little moiré effect as possible.
You can adjust the text/photo priority level. If you want to reproduce text as faithfully as possible, press [Text Priority] → move the indicator to the left. If you want to reproduce photos as faithfully as possible, press [Photo Priority] → move the indicator to the right.

IMPORTANT
|
If you scan an original containing halftones, such as a printed photo, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. If this happens, you can lessen the effect by using [Sharpness]. (See "Adjusting the Image Sharpness.")
[Map], [Photo Printout], [Printed Image], [Text/Printed Image], [Text/Photo Printout], and [Color Copy Original] can be selected only when a mail box is selected.
[Text/Photo] and [Photo] can be selected only when Memory Media is selected.

NOTE
|
If the original is a transparency/clear film, select the original type → adjust the exposure to the most appropriate level for the original.
