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

    • 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.
