# ERASING PERIPHERAL SHADOWS ON THE IMAGE(ERASE)

## Overview

The erase function is used to erase shadows around the edges of copies that are created when copying thick originals or books.

###### Erase modes

- This function erases part of the image where shadows tend to form, but does not detect shadows and erase only the shadows.
- The erase width is synchronized with the zoom ratio setting.
  For example, If the erase width setting is 20 mm (1") and the image is reduced to 50%, the erase width will be 10 mm (1/2").
