Page 43
Print phohibit areas on the front and back surfaces Printing in area A on the front of a document may, in a rare case, cause a document size detection error. Printing in area B on the front and back of document may, in a rare case, result in a double feed error.
Grounding Color Area As Figure 4.3 shows, the top 3-mm part of the read area on each surface should be left blank (grounding color) by specifying a drop-out color. If the drop-out color cannot be specified, select “Photo” for the document type (linedrawing or photograph). For details of the drop-out color, see Page 4-8.
Drop-out Color A drop-out color is a color visible by a human eye but not visible to the scanner. To check the grounding color of document for a drop-out color, use the method and follow the standards given below. Print density measurement The spectrum chart shown in Figure 4.4 is used to measure print density.
