Scan-quality problems

Prevent scan-quality problems

The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy and scan quality.

●Use high-quality originals.

●Load the paper correctly. If the paper is loaded incorrectly, it might skew, which causes unclear images.

●Adjust the software settings according to how you plan to use the scanned page.

●If your product frequently feeds more than one page at a time, the separation pad might need to be cleaned or replaced.

●Use or make a carrier sheet to protect your originals.
