# ELIMINATING BLANK PAGES FROM A TRANSMISSION(BLANK PAGE SKIP)

## Overview

If the scanned original contains blank pages, this function skips them to send only non-blank pages.
The machine detects blank pages, enabling you to skip useless blank sheets without checking an original.

- If an original of which one side is blank is scanned, blank pages are skipped for 2-sided sending.
- In a broadcast transmission to destinations including fax and Internet fax destinations, this function is applied to scan mode destinations only.
- Depending on the original, some pages that are not blank may be detected as blank pages and thus not sent, and some pages that are blank may not be detected as blank and thus sent.

- This function cannot be used in Internet fax mode.
- If the [Send Same Image as Fax Address] key is tapped, this function is cancelled if a fax address is specified for the destination.

A beep will sound to indicate that scanning has ended.
When scanning ends, check the number of original sheets and the number of sheets to be sent and tap the [OK] key to start transmission.

- When Job Build mode is used, the confirmation message will appear after the [Read-End] key is tapped.
- On the confirmation screen, the number of scanned original sheets appears in (A), the number of scanned sides in (B), and the number of sheets to be sent excluding blank pages in (C).
  For example, if five original sheets that include two blank pages are scanned by duplex scanning, (A) will show "5", (B) will show "10", and (C) will show "8".

If this step is not performed within one minute after the above confirmation screen appears, the scanned image and settings will be cleared and the base screen will reappear.
Scanning will stop automatically and the image will not be reserved for transmission.
