Solving Scan Quality Problems

The scanned image is slanted or crooked.

Make sure the original document is positioned so that the horizontal and vertical edges are carefully aligned with the scales along the sides of the document table.

If you’re using the automatic document feeder, make sure the document guides fit snugly against the edges of the original document.

If you’re using EPSON Smart Panel’s Copy utility, select Straighten Only in the Automatic Photo Layout box.

The scanned image quality is poor.

If you’re scanning or copying a photograph using EPSON Smart Panel, make sure you select Photo as your Scan Material or Document Type. If you’re using EPSON TWAIN, select Color Photo (or Black & White Photo if your photo is black and white) as your Image Type.

If you’re using EPSON TWAIN, adjust your Resolution setting.

If you’re using EPSON Smart Panel to scan a picture in a magazine or newspaper, make sure you choose Magazine, Newspaper, or Brochure as your Scan Material setting.

If you’re using the automatic document feeder, try cleaning the paper path guide. Follow the instructions on page 117.

If you’re copying a photograph, use the EPSON Photo Paper in your Media Pack for the best results.
