Isolating a Copy/Scan Malfunction to the Scanner/DADF
Scanner software, computer applications, hardware malfunctions or communication
between the IIT and IOT can cause scan/copy print-quality issues that reside within
the document feeder or scanner unit and not from the print engine.
Before troubleshooting image-quality problems:
1.
Ensure all document feeder and scanner cables and fasteners are securely
connected.
2.
Cycle power to the system.
3.
Print the 2-sided demo page from the system control panel. If the image defect
appears on the printed page, the problem is within the print engine.
4.
Copy a page directly from the platen.
5.
Copy a page from the DADF, selecting 2-sided copy to see if the defect is on the
1st, 2nd or both sides of the page.
6.
If the image defect appears on the 2nd side of the page, the problem is the DADF.
7.
If the image defect appears on the 1st side, the problem is within the Scanner
Assembly.
