Other Features

Skyshot Mode

??? Skyshot allows copying a manuscript without generating dark borders even if the platen cover or ADF/i-ADF is opened.

Skyshot mode eliminates dark borders around the originals, and is especially convenient for copying small-sized originals like bank checks or documents with unusual shapes (round, oval, etc.). These documents can be reproduced without generating any unnecessary black areas simply by making a copy with the cover open.

Two types of Skyshot modes can be selected;

Digital Skyshot Mode : The scanning area (size) is not pre-determined.

Manual Skyshot Mode : The scanning area (size) is pre-registered into memory (M1 and M2) in advance. (See page 30)

??? Digital Skyshot Mode

Place the Original on the platen (Opening the Platen Cover/ADF)

Making Copies

Note:The default setting of Digital Skyshot Mode is ???NORMAL???. In this setting, the unit scans once. If there are black areas around the borders in the copies, set the Digital Skyshot Mode to ???QUALITY??? to soften the dark borders. In this setting, the unit scans twice.
