Edge Erase (Erasing Edges and Margin Shadows of the Document)
When you copy a document with the document cover open or when you copy a book,
the edges and center margin of the document may be printed as black shadows. The
Edge Erase feature allows you to erase such shadows.
Note • For 2-sided originals, the same edge erase amounts are set for the front and back sides.
• If you set [Reduce/Enlarge], the edge erase amounts will be reduced or enlarged in
proportion to the ratio you specified.
• The binding shift specified in [Booklet Creation] will not affect the edge erase amounts.
Even when the edge erase amount is set to 0 mm, full page copying cannot be made. For information on
the areas that can actually be printed, refer to "15 Appendix" > "Printable Area" in the Administrator
Guide.
