If you are importing an image file

into your application software,

make sure the file format is one

your software can read. Also

check that the image settings in

your application are appropriate

for the type of image you want to

scan. (See your software manual.)

A line of dots is always missing in

the scanned image . . .

If this happens in your printed

image only, your printer is low on

ink or toner. Replace your ink or

toner cartridge. If this does not

solve the problem, your printer

may be malfunctioning. (See your

printer manual.)

If this happens on both your

screen and printout, the scanner’s

sensor may be malfunctioning.

Consult your dealer.

A line of dots always appears in

the scanned image . . .

If this happens on both your

screen and printout, the

document table glass may be

dusty or scratched. Clean the

document table glass.

If you are using the auto

document feeder, the paper path

guide of the auto document

feeder may be dusty. Clean the

paper path guide. If the problem

still exists, the guide may be

scratched and must be replaced.

Textured patterns of dots appear

on areas of an image . . .
You are using halftoning, which

causes normal moiré patterns

.

Your

scanner automatically minimizes the

problem if you turn on De-screening

in the Image Type dialog box.

Colors on your monitor or printed

page are different from those in

the original image . . .

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.

Check the image settings in your

scanner software, especially data

format (bits/pixel/color), gamma

correction, and color correction.

Try a different combination of

these settings.

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.)
