first, then contact the distributor/dealer where you purchased this

product. Refer to the contact information in the Contact List if supplied with this product, or
refer to the contact information in the Contact for Inquiries section if provided in Safety
Precautions supplied with this product, and then make an inquiry.

Did you configure the settings in the scanner driver to scan in black & white mode?

Solution

Use a scanner driver to configure the scan settings that do not "binarize" (output in black and
white), and then perform a scan.
The scanned image may differ from the original image significantly if you simply "binarize"
(output in black & white) a picture or a photo.

Did you specify a lower resolution for scanning in the scanner driver?

Solution

If you scan a halftone printed document, patterned noise (moire) may appear on the image.
Specify a higher resolution in the scanner driver.

Are the glass and rollers inside the ADF clean?

Solution

Clean the dirty parts.
