Use this section to help resolve issues with printed pages.
Parts of the page around the edges are not printing.
Printers cannot print right up to the edge of the paper. To get the

size of the image in the HP Precisionscan Pro software and then
reprint the image.
Copies are too light.

If you are copying an item printed on colored paper, there might
not be enough contrast between the ink and paper colors. Adjust
the highlights, shadows, midtones, and resolution settings from
the HP Precisionscan Pro software. See
"Scanning from HP
Precisionscan Pro" on page 39 . Or, adjust the contrast from the
HP Scanjet Copy Utility. Also, if possible for text, use originals
printed with black ink on white paper.

image to 300 dpi or less in the HP Precisionscan Pro software. See
