Text/Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for scanning originals containing both text and photos, such as magazines or catalogues.
Photo Mode
This mode is best suited for images printed with halftone dots (printed photos). If you set [Photo Printout Mode] to 'On', you can select the photo mode from [Photo Printout] and [Printed Image]. (See "Copying with the Printed Image Mode.")
[Photo Printout]: This mode is best suited for photos printed on photographic paper.
[Printed Image]: This mode is best suited for images printed with halftone dots.
Text Mode
This mode is best suited for making copies of text originals. You can also copy blueprints or pencil drawn originals clearly using this mode.

IMPORTANT

|
If you make copies of an original containing halftones, such as a printed photo, the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern) may occur. If this happens, you can soften the effect by using [Sharpness]. (See "Adjusting the Image Sharpness.")
