Text/Photo Mode
When text/photo mode is selected, text/photo separation is done. A text filter or
photo filter is applied to each image area. The gradation process also depends on
whether the image area is text or photo.
With UP Mode (Copy Features – General Features – Original Mode Quality Level),
the user can select ‘Photo Mode’, ‘Normal’, ‘Text Mode’, and ‘SP Mode Changed’.
The settings of the SP modes indicated with an asterisk ( * ) are not used unless
the user selects ‘SP Mode Changed’.
