Copy Quality Is Poor

Check the following if uneven colors, smears, dots, or straight lines appear in the copied image.
❏ Clean the paper path.
❏ Clean the scanner glass.
❏ Do not press too hard on the original or the document cover when you are placing the originals on the scanner

For a thin original, place the original on the scanner glass and then place a piece of black paper over it.

The Position, Size, or Margins of the Printout Are Incorrect

❏ Load paper in the correct direction, and slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper.
❏ When placing the originals on the scanner glass, align the corner of the original with the corner indicated by a
symbol on the frame of the scanner glass. If the edges of the copy are cropped off, move the original slightly
away from the corner.
❏ When placing the originals on the scanner glass, clean the scanner glass and the document cover. If there is dust
or stains on the glass, the copy area may extend to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong copying
position or small images.
❏ Select the appropriate paper size setting.
❏ Adjust the margin setting in the application so that it falls within the printable area.
