CHANGING THE EXPOSURE AND ORIGINAL IMAGE TYPE
Overview
Optimum scanning is ensured by selecting exposure and original image type based on the original.
When using the document glass to scan multiple original pages, change the exposure setting each time you change pages.
When using the automatic document feeder, the exposure setting cannot be changed once scanning has begun. (If "Job Build" is used in Others, change the exposure each time a new set of originals is inserted.)

| Manual | 1-2 | Select this setting when the original consists of dark text. |
| 3 | Select this setting for a normal original (neither dark nor light). | |
