Scanning a Document with a Colored Background Clearly (Background Removal)

To adjust a level of the document background removal, you can select Auto or OFF, or adjust in six levels.

If you select [Auto], the background is automatically removed in a level that suits the document.

Note

  • In the following cases, background color may not be correctly detected and not be eliminated successfully.

    • When a custom-size document is loaded

    • When a document with the front edge folded is loaded

    • When a document missing the front edge or an oblique document is loaded

    • When a document having a hole near the front edge is loaded

    • When a document is placed without aligning it with the guide on the document glass

  • If a greater value of the background removal is set, fine lines, texts or light colors may not be reproduced depending on the document.
