Text format is incorrect

Solution: Some programs cannot handle framed text formatting. Framed text is one of the scan document settings. It maintains complex layouts, such as multiple columns from a newsletter, by putting the text in different frames (boxes) in the destination application.

Text is incorrect or missing

Cause: The brightness is not set correctly.

Solution: Adjust the brightness, and then rescan the original.

Cause: Debris might be stuck on the glass or on the back of the document lid. This can cause poor-quality scans.

Solution: Turn off the HP All-in-One, unplug the power cord, and use a soft cloth to wipe the glass and the back of the document lid.

2.Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass, since they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.

3.Dry the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to prevent spotting.

4.Turn on the HP All-in-One.

To clean the lid backing
