Remove Background

This mode enables you to scan by erasing the background color of the original. This mode is especially useful for scanning originals, such as catalogues and paper, that have turned yellow from age.


Remark
  • This mode is available only if the optional Color Universal Send Kit is activated.

  1. Place your originals and specify the destination → press the Scan Settings drop-down list → [Option] → [Special Features] → [Image Qual. Adjustment].
  1. Press [Remove Background] → [OK].

If the background color remains, or if you want to make the background color darker when the original is scanned in the Remove Background mode, make fine adjustments to the density of the background color.

If you want to make fine adjustments to the density of the background color, press [Fine Adjustment] → press [-] or [+] to specify the amount of each color that you want to adjust → press [OK].

For example, if the background color (yellow) of the original remains, press [-] next to <Yellow> to adjust the density.

Adjusting Yellow automatically adjusts the levels of Red and Green to the same level as Yellow. However, adjusting the levels of Red or Green sets Yellow back to its default level.

  • You can adjust the density of each color by pressing [-] or [+]. Press [-] to make the color lighter, or press [+] to make the color darker.
  • If you make fine adjustments to the density, the automatic scan exposure setting is canceled, and the original is scanned according to the Fine Adjustment settings.
