cloth or use a small amount of glass cleaner on the cloth, if necessary. Paper towels are not
recommended.
Caution: Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass.

Placing Originals on the Product
Image is Distorted or Blurry
If a scanned image appears distorted or blurry, try these solutions:
• Make sure your original is not wrinkled or warped. This may prevent the original from laying flat on the
scanner glass.
• Do not move your original or your product during scanning.
• Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place your product on a flat, stable
surface that extends beyond its base in all directions.
• Adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Increase the Resolution setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White , adjust the Threshold setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale , select the Unsharp Mask setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White , select Text Enhancement . If the Image Type setting is
Color or Grayscale , change the Text Enhancement setting to High .
