Description
Select this setting to automatically detect whether the scanned
document is in color or in black and white, and then select the
appropriate Color setting ("Full Color" or "Black").
Select this setting to print the copy in full color, regardless of
whether the scanned document is in color or in black and white.
Select this setting to print all areas of the scanned document
determined to be in color with the specified color, and print all
areas determined to be black in black. (The colors used for the
areas printed in color are: red, yellow, blue, magenta, green or
cyan. Refer to page 7-18.)
Select this setting to print the copy in black and white, regard-
less of whether the scanned document is in color or in black and
white.
Select this setting to print copies in the specified color, regard-
less of whether the scanned document is in color or in blank and
white. (The color used for printing the copy can be set to one of
the 21 available. Refer to page 7-17.)
When the "Single Color" setting is selected, the following two
methods for reproducing gradations in documents are availa-
ble.
Relative luminosity: The document will be copied using concen-
tration variations of a single color to express color differences
(color shading that can be seen with the eye) and gradation lev-
els. This enables the color of markers, the blue lines in graphing
paper and the red of stamps to be distinctly reproduced in cop-
ies.
Average brightness: The document will be copied using con-
centration variations of a single color to only express gradation
levels, regardless of the color differences in the original docu-
ment. This is useful for producing monocolor copies of docu-
ments containing gradation differences, such as magazines and
newspapers, and for offsetting the yellow tint in documents that
have yellowed.
