QuestionTip
When should I use Text
mode?
Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the scan, and preserving images
copied from the original document is not a concern.
Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that only
contain text or fine line art.
When should I use
Text/Photo mode?
Use Text/Photo mode when scanning an original document that contains a mixture of text
and graphics.
Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
When should I use Photo
mode?Use Photo mode when scanning photos printed on a laser printer or taken from a magazine or
newspaper.
