Shadows appear in the image.
No shadows appear.
If a ratio setting is used in combination with an erase setting, the erase width will change according to the selected ratio. This 
function erases the parts of the image where shadows tend to form, but does not detect shadows and erase only the 
shadows.
For example, if you set an erase width of 10 mm (1/2") and reduce the image to 70% before transmission, the erase width will 
be reduced to 7 mm (3/8").
To change the default erase width setting:
Select 
[System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] → [Common Settings] → [Condition Settings]
 → [Erase Width 
Adjustment].
The width can be set from 0 mm to 20 mm (0" to 1"). The factory default setting is 10 mm (1/2"). The setting changed here will 
apply to [
System Settings
] → [Copy Settings] → [Condition Settings] → [Erase Width Adjustment] in "Settings".
