Gutter Shadow Correction
Corrects shadows that appear between pages when scanning open booklets. Changing the Gutter Shadow Correction setting after an image has been previewed and displayed in the preview area will immediately reflect the result to the preview image. Preview the effects before scanning, as results vary depending on the type of document and how it is pressed. Unclear or blurred text/lines caused by curved pages are not corrected. A message appears when you change the setting from OFF. Check the message and click OK.

| Low |
Use this when the effect level is too strong with the medium setting. |

Important!
-
Do not place items that weigh 2.0 kg (4.4 lbs) or more on the platen. In addition, do not press heavily on the document cover or the item while it is on the scanner. If you press heavily, the scanner may not work correctly or the platen may be broken.
-
When you click Multi Crop, this setting is not available. Click Reset then change the setting.
-
Align the document with the edge of the platen. If not, the shadow will not be corrected properly.
-
Shadows may not be corrected properly depending on the document. If the page background is not white, shadows may not be detected correctly or may not be detected at all.
-
While scanning, press down on the spine with the same amount of pressure you used to preview the scan. If the binding part is not even, the shadow will not be corrected properly.
How to place the document depends on your model and the document to be scanned.
