Removing a Color from the Scanned Image
[Dropout color]
With "Dropout color", you can select either green, red, blue
(primary colors), or white to remove the details of the selected
color from a scanned image.
For example, when scanning a document with black
characters and a green background, you can only scan the
black characters of the document by selecting green for the
dropout color.

The color of the background is normally white. You can change
the background to black in the scanner driver.
For details, refer to the scanner driver's Help.
Depending on the value you specify for the bottom margin in
[Page Edge Filler (ADF)], the Page Edge Filler function
operates as follows:
- 1 to 7 mm
Fills in the margin with a background color , from the detected
page bottom.
- -1 to -7 mm
Outputs the image without filling in the margin with a
background color. (Outputs the image with the specified area
added when the page end detection mode is set.)
"Detected page bottom" refers to the bottom edge of the
scanned document detected by the scanner.
This setting can also be configured in the scanner driver. In that
case, Page Edge Filler of the scanner driver is used on the
output image.
ATTENTION
Dropout color works the best with light (low intensity) colors, and dark
colors may not drop out.
HINT
Dropout color is only available in black & white or grayscale mode.
