What Is Image Detection?

In many cases, originals include both photo and text. Although the text is normally printed in
black, a color printer inevitably uses not only the black toner but cyan, magenta, and yellow in
layers to reproduce the black text. Using the Screen method, the color printer may add colors
in large or bold characters to reproduce the text in the same way as the photo.
While scanning such originals, this machine detects and determines the photo portion and
text area, so that the black text area should be reproduced in single color and the photo
portion in full color. This function also allows you to obtain the optimum print results by
modifying the standard for image detection according to the character size of the text or its
proportion in the whole original.
