Removing Drill Holes From Output

If you are scanning or copying originals that have been drilled for insertion in a multi-ring binder, or the paper is otherwise damaged at the edge, you may notice black holes or other unacceptable marks on one edge of your output image. Electronic Hole Removal can be enabled to eliminate such defects.

TIP: The Electronic Hole Removal feature is also useful for removing output image defects caused by folded-over corners (dog-ears) and/or torn edges located within approximately one inch from the edge of the original document.

NOTE: Electronic Hole Removal is only functional for originals placed in the Document Feeder. For details, see Using the Document Feeder.

NOTE: Electronic Hole Removal is NOT available when Photo is the Original Type selected.
