Xerox 6204 Wide Format Solution
This option is best when using an original
that contains primarily text and lines.
Select this mode to make copies of
transparent (clear) originals. This option is
suitable for film and vellum originals, where
the background color is water-clear, white,
bluish, or brown.
This option works well for originals that
contain both text and photos.
Select this option when documents contain
a grayscale or halftone color image, such
as a printed graphic.
Select this mode when documents contain
a continuous tone black and white or color
image, such as a photograph.
Blueline documents are usually blue lines
on a white, opaque background. Bluelines
are often mistakenly referred to as
blueprints. Bluelines, however, are just the
opposite of blueprints.
Blueprint documents are white lines and
text on a dark blue background.
Adjustments may have to be made using
the Background Suppression and Copy
Density features. You also can use the
Invert Image feature for better output.
Negatives are similar to blueprints, except
the white lines are on a black background
in a negative, rather than a blue
background as in a blueprint. Because a
negative is similar to a blueprint, the
setting that you should select is identical.
Using the Invert Image feature will
conserve toner. If an exact copy of an
original is not required, or if the job has
many blueprints or negatives, Invert Image
should be used.
Adjustments may have to made using the
Background Suppression and Contrast
features.
