Changing Color Modes

This machine comes with the Automatic Color Selection mode, which recognizes whether an original is in color or black-and-white, and then automatically switches between the Full Color mode and Black & White mode. You can also manually switch between the Full Color, Black & White, Single Color, and Two Colors modes whenever necessary.
IMPORTANT
If you scan different sized originals without setting the Different Size Originals mode or selecting a non-standard paper size as the paper size, the machine may not be able to detect whether your originals are color or black-and-white.
Auto (Color/B&W)
If theAuto (Color/B&W) mode is selected, the machine automatically recognizes whether the original is in color or black-and-white. Color originals are copied in the Full Color mode, while black-and-white originals are copied in the Black & White mode.
Full Color
The Full Color mode always copies in color regardless of whether the original is in color or black-and-white.
Black & White
The Black & White mode always copies in black-and-white regardless of whether the original is in color or black-and-white.
Single Color
The Single Color mode enables you to make one-color copies.
*1 Original
*2 Copy
Two Colors
The Two Colors mode enables you to make two-color prints, composed of a color you specify, and black.
*1 Original
*2 Copy
IMPORTANT
When the Auto (Color/B&W) mode is set, black-and-white copies are output at the same speed as color copies.
When the Auto (Color/B&W) mode is set and your originals contain color sections, the machine scans them in the Full Color mode. However, the machine may scan the color originals in the Black & White mode under the following conditions. To avoid this, set the color mode to 'Full Color'.
If the originals contain a few color sections.
If the color sections are located only in the areas of the originals, as indicated by the shaded portions of the illustrations below, when loading the originals in the feeder.
If the color sections of the originals are close to black.
If the originals contain light color densities.
You can select Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, or Cyan as the color in the Single Color mode and the Two Colors mode.
NOTE
If [Use Auto (Color/Black & White)] in [Select Color Settings for Copy] is set to 'Off', [Auto (Color/B&W)] is not displayed. (See "Restricting Use of Auto-Color Select.")
If [Use Full Color] in [Select Color Settings for Copy] is set to 'Off', [Full Color] is not displayed. (See "Restricting the Use of Full Color.")
