Erase Frame
This mode enables you to remove the shadows and lines that appear when scanning various types of originals. There are three types of Erase Frame: [Erase Orig. Frame], [Erase Book Frame], and [Erase Binding].

Make sure to place your original on the platen glass. If you place originals with binding holes in the feeder, it may damage the originals. Place your original on the platen glass. |

This mode deletes the dark borders and frame lines that appear around the scanned image if the original is smaller than the specified paper size. You can also use this mode to create a blank border around the edge of the scanned image.
