Placing the Document On the Original Glass

Place the document directly on the original glass for it to be scanned. Each page of
the document must be positioned manually (i.e., the previous one must be removed
and the next one placed on the original glass).

This method works best with books and other documents that cannot be fed
through the reverse automatic document feeder.

Reminder!

Do not place objects weighing more than 4-1/2 lb on the original glass. In
addition, do not press down extremely hard on a document placed on the

For thick books or large objects, make the copy without closing the original
cover or reverse automatic document feeder. When a document is being
scanned with the original cover or reverse automatic document feeder open,
do not look directly at the light that may shine through the original glass.
Although the light that shines through the original glass is bright, it is not a
laser beam and, therefore, is not as dangerous.

3.3 Selecting a Color Setting

Various Color settings are available for making copies.
The following Color settings are available.

Auto Color

The scanned document is determined to be either in color or in black and white, and
then the appropriate Color setting for the document is automatically selected.

If the document was determined to be in color, a copy is made with the “Full Color”
setting.
If the document was determined to be in black and white, a copy is made with the
“Black” setting.

✎

Hint

The level for determining whether a document is in color or in black and white
when making copies with the “Auto Color” setting can be adjusted using the
“ACS Judgement Level Adjustment” function on the User’s Choice: 2 screen.
For more details, refer to “Setting the “ACS Judgement Level Adjustment”
Function” on page 10-18.

Full Color

The scanned document is copied in full color.

2 Color

All areas of the document determined to be in color are copied with the specified
color, and all areas determined to be black are copied in black.
The colors that can be used for the areas printed in color are: red, green, blue, cyan,
magenta and yellow.

Single Color

Copies are printed in the specified color, regardless of the whether the scanned
document is in color or black and white.
The color used for producing the copy can be set to one of the 20 available.

3-6 cm3520

3.3 Selecting a Color Setting

✎

Additional Information

When the “Single Color” setting is selected, the following two methods for
reproducing gradations in documents are available.

Relative luminosity: The document will be copied using monocolor
concentration variations to express color differences (color shading that can
be seen with the eye) and gradation levels. This enables the color of
markers, the blue lines in graphing paper and the red of stamps to be
distinctly reproduced in copies. This method is selected as the factory
default.

Average brightness: The document will be copied using monocolor
concentration variations to only express gradation levels, regardless of the
color differences in the original document. This is useful for producing
monocolor copies of documents containing gradation differences, such as
magazines and newspapers, and for offsetting the yellow tint in documents
that have yellowed. To select this method, touch [Solid].
