When you copy very light or dark originals, or originals with unequal background density, the result can not meet your requirements (e.g. too much background).

Default the automatic background compensation is active and the exposure level is 0.

The automatic background compensation will provide a good quality copy from a large variety of originals. The automatic background compensation setting, which is switched on (by default), ensures the production of background-free copies of most line drawings.

The Océ TDS400 allows you to adjust the exposure setting according to the type of image on the original. There are three original types available:

Lines/text

Photo

Blueprint

By default ‘Lines/text’ is selected with the background compensation enabled. This is the best setting for originals with characters and line art.

Select ‘Photo’ when the original consists of a combination of characters, line art and picture images.

Note: If you select ‘Photo’, the ‘Background compensation’ will be switched off automatically.

Select ‘Blue print’ when you want to copy an original with an image in negative (image in white on dark background). The copy will be positive (image in black on white background).
