Setting the Original Type for Copies
When you press the Start button to make a copy, the device scans your originals and temporarily
stores the images. It then prints the images based on the selections made.
If Authentication or Accounting has been enabled on your device you may have to enter login
details to access the Copy features.
Use the Original Type options to enhance the quality of your output based on the type of original
images and how they were produced. For example, if you use a text setting for the original type your
device will produce output with sharper edges than if you selected a photo setting - this will make
text documents easier to read, but will reduce the quality of photo images where there are lightness
and darkness gradations not found in text.
