The original mode key on the operation panel has two settings, text and photo. With the default settings,
the machine uses “Normal Text (Text 1)” when the Text indicator is lit, and uses “Photo Priority (Photo 1)”
when the Photo indicator is lit.
Selection of Original Modes, for Copying
The customer can allocate different modes to the Text and Photo indicators with User Tools – Copier Features
– Image Adjustment. Note that the Text indicator does not have to be allocated to a Text mode and the
Photo key does not have to be allocated to a Photo mode. For example, the Text indicator can be allocated
to Photo 3, and the Photo indicator can be allocated to Special 4.
If the user wishes to customize one of the original modes, the technician can change the settings using SP
4922 to SP 4942. Refer to “SP Modes for Each Image Processing Step”. However, only one of the original
modes can be customized at any one time.
Selection of Original Modes, for Fax
Before scanning, the user selects Text or Photo at the operation panel.
• If Text: The machine uses Text Sharp mode, unless a serviceperson has changed the mode to Dropout
mode.
• If Photo: The machine uses the photo mode selected by User Parameter switch 10 bit 7 (where "0"
selects Photo Normal and "1" selects Photo Smooth).
If the user is having a problem with text-mode quality, please try to resolve the
problem by adjusting the settings for Text Sharp. Do not try to solve the problem
by changing the mode to Dropout. Dropout mode is designed for very specific
uses only (for machines that are almost exclusively used to send preprinted forms
with unneeded background color), and is rarely appropriate outside of Japan.
The text mode used by the machine is determined by the value of SRAM address
410D48h. To change the text mode, you must use Fax SP (SP2-101-001) to
manually change the value at this address. To change to Dropout mode,
write 0Ah into this address. To change back to Text Sharp mode, write 07h
into this address.
