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. Press the COPY button.

    The Copy standby screen is displayed.

  4. Press the MENU button.

    The Copy menu screen is displayed.

  5. Select Special copy, then press the OK button.

  6. Select Frame erase copy, then press the OK button.

  7. Load originals on platen.

    Note

    • When you use this function, load the original on the platen.

  8. Use the LEFTRIGHT button or the Numeric buttons to specify the number of copies.

    Change the print settings as necessary.

  9. 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.
