COPY COLOR MODES
The color mode of the [COLOR START] key is normally set to [Full Color] so that copying takes place in full color mode 
when the [COLOR START] key is pressed. If color originals are mixed together with black & white originals, set the color 
mode to [Auto] to have the color mode change appropriately for each original.
Touch the [Color Mode] key in the base screen to open the following screen.
Touch the key of the desired color mode and then touch the [OK] key.
Full ColorThe original is copied in full color.
AutoThe machine automatically detects whether each original is color or black & white and 
switches the mode appropriately (full color for a color original or black & white for a black & 
white original).
Single ColorThe original is copied in the selected color only.
All colors in the original are changed to the selected color, which can be selected from red, 
green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow.
2 ColorOnly the red areas of the original are changed to the selected color; colors other than red are 
copied in black. This lets you make copies that are more expressive than black and white 
copies.
Red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, or yellow can be selected.
