The present invention relates to a method of document character box dropout. A character box within the document is printed in thermosensitive ink which is rendered transparent upon the document's heating by a heating element or device. The heating process may be triggered once the scanning unit has detected the document. Following the heating process, pertinent information within the character box is then scanned without the character box.
