Be aware that if the blank page threshold is set too high then genuine pages that contain information may be rejected as blank pages.

Usually when blank pages appear it is because the scanner’s settings require adjustment. If black lines appear on the page edges most scanners can trim the image’s edge by a couple of millimetres. Set ‘Show using its ADF’ option as in the above example to see the scanner’s interface options when to scanning.

Blank pages threshold does not work for colour images.

Virtual printing and Drag & Dropping of image files are also affected by this value.
