7. COPYING WITH COPY DENSITY SELECTION

There are two modes of adjusting the image density and background level of the copy. In the manual copy density mode, you can produce lighter or darker copies.

In the automatic copy density mode, the copier automatically detects the density of the original, and selects the optimum image density and background level. This mode is suitable for originals containing only text and illustrations. Originals with black areas and halftoned originals should be copied in the manual copy density mode.
