Problem	Possible Solution
Image quality is poor or	Make sure that:
has decreased	• the scanner is clean. Refer to the Maintenance section.
	• the scanner is calibrated. Refer to the Maintenance section.
The lamps shut off too soon	The lamps in the i200 Series Scanners will turn off after 5 minutes of no scanner
	activity. If the lamps are off, but the scanner has not yet gone into the Energy Star
	mode (default 15 minutes), there will be a delay of about 5 seconds for the lamps
	to warm up again.
	The default setting for the Energy Star is 15 minutes, and if not changed to
	another value between 16 and 60 minutes, the lamps will turn off after
	5 minutes of no scanner activity, followed 10 minutes later by the fan turning
	off (15 minutes total).
	If you set the Energy Star timeout to a new value greater than 15 minutes, you
	must scan at least one document for that setting to be enabled. After this setting
	has been enabled, it will be enforced until a new setting is selected or the
	scanner is powered off and back on.
Documents are skewed	Make sure that:
during scanning	• the document side guides are adjusted to fit the documents being fed.
	• documents are being fed perpendicular to the feed module.
	• documents are being fed in the center of the ADF.
	• all staples and paper clips have been removed from the documents.
	• the feed module, separator module, and drive rollers are clean.
Scanner pauses excessively	Make sure that:
during scanning	• the host computer meets minimum requirements for scanning.
	• there is enough free space on the hard disk drive.
	• all other applications are closed.
	• the scanner has the correct amount of memory installed for the documents
	being scanned.
	You can also try changing the scanning options (compression, etc.) in your
	scanning software.
Documents are multifeeding	Make sure that:
	• the leading edges of all batched documents are centered in the ADF so that
	each document will come in contact with the feed rollers.
	• the feed module and separator module are clean and not worn.
	• documents with an unusual texture or surface are fed manually.
Roller marks or streaks appear	Clean the feed module and separator module tires and the drive rollers. Refer to
on documents after scanning	the Maintenance section.
