Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors

Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).

Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.

Remove any dust or dirt from your originals and clean the scanner glass. Do not press with too much
force on the original or document cover.

To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try
scanning again:

• If the

Image Type

setting is

Color

or

Grayscale

, adjust the

Contrast

setting.

• If the

Image Type

setting is

Black & White

or

Grayscale

, adjust the

Color Enhance

setting.
