    • [Paper Discoloration Adj]: Select this option to scan an original with a colored background such as a map.

    [Background Removal Level]

    Tap this button to adjust the density of the background color for an original with a colored background. If [Auto] is selected, the density of the background color is determined automatically, and the original is copied with optimal background density.

Scanning originals of varying sizes in a batch ([Mixed Original])

Even for an original with pages of different sizes, by using the ADF, you can scan data while detecting the size of each page.

  • Load all the original pages into the ADF so that the top edges of the pages are toward the back or the left side of the machine.

  1. Tap [Original/Density] - [Mixed Original].

Scanning a folded original ([Z-Folded Original])

Even the original sizes of folded originals can be detected accurately.

If a folded original is loaded into the ADF, its size may not be detected correctly. To scan a folded original through the ADF, use [Z-Folded Original].

  • Unfold folded originals before loading them into the ADF. If a folded original is not unfolded before scanning, a paper jam may occur or the size may not be correctly detected.

  1. Tap [Original/Density] - [Z-Folded Original].
