4.7.12 Blank Page Skip

The scan process can be set to skip any blank pages in the scanned document.

For example, when a stack of documents containing both two-sided and one-sided documents is scanned in duplex scan mode, this feature removes only the reverse side (i.e. blank page) of one- sided documents from the scanned data.

ATTENTION

•If the Brightness setting (see "4.7.9 Brightness" (page 191)) is set to [Dark] or [Medium Dark], blank pages may not be recognized as such by the scanner.

•No scanned data is produced if all of the sheets in the document stack are recognized as blank pages.

•The following types of documents may be accidentally recognized as blank pages.

Before discarding the scanned documents, check for pages accidentally removed from the scanned data. If any pages have been removed, the document may need to be re-scanned.

•Almost blank pages containing only a few characters

•Page of only one color (including black), without any patterns, lines, or characters.
