Setting the Original Type for ID Card Copying
ID Card Copy enables you to scan each side of an ID card onto one side of a single sheet of paper.
The ID card is placed on the document glass and the first side is scanned. When prompted, the card
is turned over and the other side is scanned. You can also set different image quality settings for
side 1 and side 2.
If Authentication or Accounting has been enabled on your device you may have to enter login
details to access the ID Card Copy features.
Use the Original Type options to enhance the quality of your output based on the type of original
images and how they were produced. For example, if you use a text setting for the original type your
device will produce output with sharper edges than if you selected a photo setting - this will make
text documents easier to read, but will reduce the quality of photo images where there are lightness
and darkness gradations not found in text.
