ERASING PERIPHERAL SHADOWS ON THE IMAGE (ERASE)

Overview

When scanning thick originals or books, erase any peripheral shadows that may be produced on the image.

Erase modes

This function erases part of the image where shadows tend to form, but does not detect shadows and erase only the shadows.
The erase width is synchronized with the zoom ratio setting. For example, if you reduce the size of the original to 70% of its original size after setting the erase width to 1/2" (10 mm), the erase width is set to 3/8" (7 mm).
To change the default erase width setting:
In "Setting mode (administrator)", tap [System Settings][Image Send Settings][Operation Settings][Default Settings][Erase Width Adjustment] and change the erase width setting.
