Erase modes

  • This function erases the parts of the image where shadows tend to form, but does not detect shadows and erase only the shadows.
  • If a ratio setting is used in combination with an erase setting, the erase width will change according to the selected ratio.
    • For example, if you set an erase width of 10 mm (1/2") and reduce the image to 70% before scanning it, the erase width will be reduced to 7 mm (3/8").
  • When the erase setting is selected, the image orientation will be forcibly portrait.
To change the default erase width setting:
In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Common Settings] → [Condition Settings] → [Erase Width Adjustment].
The width can be set from 0 mm to 20 mm (0" to 1"). The factory default setting is 10 mm (1/2"). The setting changed here will apply to [System Settings] → [Copy Settings] → [Condition Settings] → [Erase Width Adjustment] in "Settings".

ELIMINATING BLANK PAGES FROM A TRANSMISSION (BLANK PAGE SKIP)

If the scanned original contains blank pages, this function skips them to send only non-blank pages.
The machine detects blank pages, enabling you to skip useless blank sheets without checking an original.

  • If an original of which one side is blank is scanned, blank pages are skipped for 2-sided sending.
  • In a broadcast transmission to destinations including fax and Internet fax destinations, this function is applied to scan mode destinations only.
  • Depending on the original, some pages that are not blank may be detected as blank pages and thus not being sent, and some pages that are blank may not be detected as blank and thus sent.
  • This function cannot be used in Internet fax mode.
  • If the [Send Same Image as Fax Address] key is tapped, this function is canceled if a fax address is specified for the destination.
To display the blank page skip confirmation message:
Select [System Settings] → [Common Settings] → [Device Control] → [Condition Settings] → [Display Blank Page Skip Confirmation Message].

  • When Job Build mode is used, the confirmation message will appear after the [Start] key is tapped.
  • On the confirmation screen, the number of scanned original sheets appears in (A), the number of scanned sides in (B), and the number of sheets to be sent excluding blank pages in (C). For example, if five original sheets that include two blank pages are scanned by duplex scanning, (A) will show "5", (B) will show "10", and (C) will show "8".
If this step is not performed within one minute after the above confirmation screen appears, the scanned image and settings will be cleared and the base screen will reappear.
Scanning will not be completed automatically and the image will not be reserved for transmission.

CHECKING THE NUMBER OF SCANNED ORIGINAL SHEETS BEFORE TRANSMISSION (ORIGINAL COUNT)

Count the number of scanned original sheets and display the count before transmission.
Checking the number of scanned original sheets before transmission helps prevent transmission mistakes.

  • The count result is displayed with the number of scanned original sheets, not the number of scanned original pages. For example, when a 2-sided original is transmitted, the number "1" will appear to indicate that one original sheet is transmitted, not "2" to indicate the front-side page and the reverse side page.
  • When a broadcast transmission is performed, if the original count function is selected in any of the modes, the function will operate for all destinations.
  • The setting should be enabled separately for each mode.

Place originals in the automatic document feeder.

Check the number of original sheets.

The number that is displayed is the number of scanned original sheets, not the number of scanned original pages. For example, when 2-sided copying is performed using one original, the number "1" will appear to indicate that one original sheet was scanned, not "2" to indicate the front-side page and the reverse side page.

Tap the [Send] key to start transmission.

If this function is combined with [Job Build], the count result is displayed after the [Read-End] key has been tapped.
If this step is not performed within one minute after the above confirmation screen appears, the scanned image and settings will be cleared and the base screen will reappear. Scanning will not be completed automatically and the image will not be reserved for transmission.
If the displayed number of original sheets is different from the actual number of sheets:
Tap the [Cancel] key and then tap the [OK] key in the message screen to clear all scanned data. Scan settings and destination settings will not be cleared. Insert the original sheets in the document feeder tray again and tap the [Start] key to re-scan.
