Question Tip
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.

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.

and brochures.

a magazine or newspaper.
