If the color is patchy or distorted

at the edges of the image. . .

Make sure your document is flat.

If the document is very thick or

warped at the edges, the edges of

the image may be discolored.

Cover the edges of the document

with opaque paper to block

outside light.

If your document is too large,

part of the document extends

beyond the document table, and

that edge may not be in contact

with the document table. Change

the position of the document.

If the colors in the image look too

dark or odd. . .

Make sure your software settings

are correct for your document

type.

Try adjusting the brightness with

your application software. Also

check the brightness and contrast

values of your display screen.

If you are using the transparency

unit, make sure the rectangular

window near the hinges on the

base is uncovered, or make sure

the top of the transparency unit is

closed when scanning.

If straight lines in the image are

jagged . . .
The document may have been

placed at an angle on the document

table. Align it so that the horizontal

and vertical lines are carefully

aligned with the scales on the top

and side of the document table.

The image does not look the same

as the original.

Your software settings are not

correct for your document type.

Try different combinations of

image settings using your scanner

software.

The colors displayed on your

monitor don’t match the original

or printed colors. Try increasing

your monitor’s color palette to

16 bit or 24 bit.
Because your monitor and printer

use different technologies to

represent colors, your printed colors

cannot exactly match the colors you

see on your monitor screen.
Your software may not have

sufficient color matching and

color management features, or

these components of your

software may not be correctly

installed. (See your software,

monitor, and computer manuals

for information on color

matching and calibration.)
