4. ERASE

4.1 OVERVIEW

The erase lamp [A], which is installed in the copier main frame, consists of a
single row of white LEDs (38 LEDs) extended across the full width of the
drum. The erase lamp has the following functions: leading edge erase, side
erase and trail edge erase. (Trail edge erase begins after the trailing edge of
the copy paper; therefore, the trailing edge of the copy will not be erased.)
In side erase mode, the appropriate LEDs turn on in accordance with the
modes selected by the user.
