Area Designation
0R9W-0RS
This mode enables you to frame areas to scan/copy, or areas to blank out in the scanned image. You can designate up to four areas using the edit pen on the preview screen, or the numeric keys on the control panel. You can designate up to four different areas.
Using the Edit Pen
Using the Numeric Keys
IMPORTANT
To use Area Designation (Framing) with the Image Repeat mode, first specify the Image Repeat mode, and then designate the desired area. Only one area can be designated.
The designated area is too small, the color original may be scanned in the Black mode even if the color mode is set to 'Auto (Color/Black)'.
When designating an area, specify an area that is 15 mm or larger on one side. If you specify an area that is less than 15 mm on one side, a message prompting you to change the area size is displayed.
NOTE
You can use the numeric keys to modify areas designated with the edit pen.
If you designate an area using the edit pen, the output image may not reflect the designated area precisely. To designate an area precisely, enter the values using the numeric keys.
Using the Edit Pen
You can designate the area using two points.

You cannot copy or scan documents with the Area Designation mode if you place your originals in the feeder.
