Removing Image Show Through
(when scanning or copying)

When scanning translucent originals, sometimes the image on the back side of the page is detected, resulting in a scan of the image on the other side of the sheet (see figure).

To correct image show through:

  1. In the Xerox Nuvera user interface, click the Copy Services button.
  2. Click the Image Quality tab.
  3. Click the Image Adjustments button. Verify that the Background Suppression Strong checkbox is enabled. If it is not, click in the checkbox.
  4. Click <Copy> to scan or copy your document.

TIP: While this selection is not recommended for documents with pictures, select the Image Quality tab and click on Original Type, then click [Text] if you are scanning an image from a two-sided page. The scanner will not attempt to interpret and scan the image that shows through from the second side.

TIP: When scanning a two-sided original, to reduce or eliminate image show through, place a piece of dark (preferably black) paper behind the original document before scanning. You can also leave the platen glass cover open when scanning.

TIP: If you have programmed and run a job, and received unexpected results, ensure that the system-wide settings are all set back to their defaults by clicking <Clear All> or <Reset> in the user interface. Then proceed to do job programming pertinent to your job.
