background are not copied very frequently in non-image area erase, the copier can be used in the current installation location. However, when copy originals that have a dark background are frequently copied, install the
copier in a location where less external light gets in (darker) than the present location, and check the non-image
area erase check mode again.
(2) Error message -2
Adjust for Extreme Brightness.
In many case, the non-image area erase function will not operate correctly.
Handling 2
When the"Non-image area erase" function is not used very frequently, the copier can be used in the current
installation location. However, if the "Non-image area erase" function is frequently used, install the copier in a
location where less external light gets in (darker) than the present location, and check the non-image area erase
check mode again. At this time, when there is a bright light source such as a fluorescent light installed directly
above the copier, reconsider the installation location, or take some measures to shield the light source and
check the mode again.
