Copy problems

Prevent copy problems

The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy quality:

Copy from the flatbed scanner. This will produce a higher quality copy than copying from the automatic document feeder (ADF).

Use quality originals.

Load the media correctly. If the media is loaded incorrectly, it might skew, causing unclear images and problems with the OCR program. See Load paper and print media on page 58 for instructions.

Adjust the control panel settings for the type of original if the automatic settings do not produce the desired result.
