Point to check | Solution
--- | ---
Are you scanning one of the following types of originals? When Black & White is not selected: Are there colours or colouring in the paper? When Colour is not selected: Is the colour in the original very light? Is the colour in the original very dark, almost black? Is only a very small area of the original coloured? | When the colour mode is set to "Auto", the machine detects whether the original is black and white or colour when the [Colour Start] key is tapped. However, when an original of a type as shown on the left is used, automatic detection may not give the correct result. In this event, specify the colour mode manually.
