# CHANGING COLOUR MODE

## Overview

Change the colour mode used to scan the original.

Mode | Scanning method
--- | ---
Auto | The machine detects whether the original is colour or black and white and automatically selects full colour or black and white (Mono2 or Greyscale) scanning.
Full Colour | The original is scanned in full colour. This mode is best for full colour originals such as catalogues.
Mono2 | Colours in the original are scanned as black or white. This mode is best for text-only originals.
Greyscale | The colours in the original are scanned in black and white as shades of grey (greyscale).

This function cannot be used in Internet fax mode.
