Copy quality is poor

Take steps to improve the copy quality

Use quality originals.

Load the media correctly. If the media is loaded incorrectly, it might skew, causing unclear images. See Load media for more information.

Use or make a carrier sheet to protect your originals.

Check the device

The ADF might need cleaning. See Clean the device for more information.
