COPY FUNCTIONS

MAKING A COPY DARKER OR LIGHTER

The copy exposure can be adjusted as needed to the original. Three exposure modes are available: "AUTO", "TEXT" and "PHOTO". When "TEXT" or "PHOTO" is selected, the exposure can be manually adjusted to 5 levels.

Auto

This is the default exposure mode. In this mode, the characteristics of an original being copied are "read" by the exposure system and exposure adjustments are made automatically. The exposure level is lowered for coloured areas and background shadows.

100%

Text/photo

TEXT: This mode enhances low density areas of an original and suppresses high-density background areas to make text more legible.

PHOTO: This mode provides clearer reproduction of halftones in photos.
