Removing Shadows/Streaks that Appear around Edges of Images [Page Edge Filler (Return)]

For a document that is inserted into the return path opening, configure the settings to fill in the shadow or streaks around the edges of the scanned image.

Depending on the condition of the documents that you scan, the shadow of a document may appear as black streaks on the edges of the scanned image.

In this case, remove the black streaks by filling in the edges of the scanned image.

Start up the Software Operation Panel.

For details, refer to Starting Up the Software Operation Panel.
From the list on the left, select [Device Setting 2] → [Page Edge Filler (Return)].
Specify the width of each margin (Top/Bottom/Right/Left) to fill in.
The factory default setting is "0".

The specified area is filled in white or black, according to the background color.

(1): Top = -7 to 7 mm

(2): Bottom = 0 to 15 mm

(3): Right = 0 to 15 mm

(4): Left = 0 to 15 mm

(in 1 mm increments)

ATTENTION

Note that if the target range of page edge filler is too wide, some characters near the edge may appear missing.
TIP
- You can change the background color to black or white in the scanner driver.
  
  For details, refer to the help for the scanner driver.
- Depending on the value you specify for the top margin of the page edge filler, the page edge filler function operates as follows:
  
  1 to 7 mm
  
  Fills in the specified area with the background color from the top edge of the image towards the inside.
  
  -1 to -7 mm
  
  Outputs the image with the specified area that is added from the top edge of the image towards the outside.
- This setting can also be configured in the scanner driver.
  
  In such a case, the page edge filler of the scanner driver is used on the image which the scanner already filled in the edges.
