Banding
A-61601 February 2010
Banding can occur when photos are curled in landscape orientation
and fed through the scanner. If you experience an issue with curled
photos that generate horizontal bands on images, it is suggested that
you rotate the photos by 90 degrees and feed the photos in the scanner
so the curl is not in the direction of the transport. This may eliminate or
minimize the banding.
NOTE: It is suggested that you feed photos top first to minimize
banding in light areas at the top of photos.
Place a blank placeholder top sheet on top of the stack of photos being
scanned. This top sheet can reduce banding and also protects the top
photo from tire marks as the last photo before the top sheet is fed into
the scanner. This top sheet is a good place to record customer
information since it will be scanned with the photos.
