Copying Thick Originals Such as Books

When copying thick originals such as books, you can make a copy without black margins around the image and gutter shadows. Using this function, you can reduce unnecessary ink consumption.

  1. Check that printer is turned on.

  2. Load paper.

  3. Select Copy on the HOME screen.

  4. Select Frame erase copy.

  5. Load original on platen.

  6. Specify settings as necessary.

    You can specify the number of copies in the Copy standby screen.

    For more on the setting items:

  7. Press the Black button or the Color button.

    The printer starts copying.

Note

  • Close the document cover.

  • There may be a narrow black margin that appears around the image. This function removes the dark margins only. If a scanned book is too thin or when the printer is used near a window or in a bright environment, a faint black frame may remain. Also, if the color of an original is dark, the printer cannot distinguish the document color from the shadow and this may cause slight cropping or a shadow on the crease.
