Erasing Edges and Margin
Shadows in the Document -
Border Erase
When you make copies with the document cover open or make copies from a book, black
shadows sometimes appear along the edges or center margin of the output copy. If this hap-
pens, you can make copies with the shadows erased.
With adjustment of erase margins, the following items can be set:
●
T/B Erase
Shadows at the top and bottom of the document are erased. Edges on the top and bottom are erased with respect to
the direction that the document was loaded.
The edge erase width can be set within the range 0 to 50 mm in 1 mm increments. The default setting is 5 mm.
●
L/R Erase
Shadows on the left and right of the document are erased. Edges on the left and right are erased with respect to the
direction that the document was loaded.
The border erase width can be set within the range 0 to 50 mm in 1 mm increments. The default setting is 5 mm.
●
Center Erase
Shadows in the center of documents such as booklets or documents with facing pages are erased. The center erase
width can be set within the range 0 to 50 mm in 1 mm increments. The default setting is 0 mm.
●
When Border Erase is set to Normal, a border erase amount of 2 mm is set to top and bottom/left and right. So, to
disable border erase, the border erase amount must be set to 0 mm at Variable Erase.
●
When making two sided copies, the same border erase amount is set to the top and back sides.
●
When Reduce/Enlarge is set, the border erase amount is also enlarged or reduced proportionately to the copy
ratio.
●
The T/B Erase and L/R Erase settings can be changed in the System Administration Mode. For details about how
to change the default for this feature, see “5.5.2 Copy Defaults” (P. 141) in “Part 1 Hardware”.
●
The border erase amount will not be affected even if Gutter in the Booklet feature is set.
