Grounding Color Area
As Figure 6.4 shows, the top 3-mm part of the read area on each surface should be left blank (grounding color) by specifying a dropout color. If the drop-out color cannot be specified, select “Photo” for the document type (line drawing or photograph).
For details of the drop-out color, see next Section.
