# SKIPPING BLANK PAGES IN AN ORIGINAL (BLANK PAGE SKIP)

## Overview

If the scanned original contains blank pages, this function skips them to copy only non-blank pages.
If an original of which one side is blank is scanned, blank pages are skipped for 2-sided copying.

Depending on the original, some pages that are not blank may be detected as blank pages and thus not copied, and some pages that are blank may not be detected as blank and thus copied.

## Operation

1. #### Place an original, and tap the [Preview] key

   Place the original in the automatic document feeder or on the document glass.
