Detecting Blank Pages

When using the ADF to scan the originals, an alarm sounds if the scanned first page is blank or nearly blank. The blank sheet-detecting function is ineffective for second and subsequent pages.

This function notifies you if an original is placed facing the wrong side on the scanner.

The machine cannot detect blank sheets if the user has put it into Preview mode using [Preview]. You can check if the scanned page is blank or nearly blank in the preview.

When a blank page is detected

An alarm sounds and a message appears for a few seconds. Press [Exit].

To cancel sending or scanning

Press [Stop].

The machine does not automatically stop sending or scanning documents even if it detects a sheet that looks blank.

You can turn this function on or off with the User Parameter (switch 11, bit 2). See Parameter Settings.

Note

  • The message differs depending on number of pages to be scanned and transmission mode.
