Select multifunctional copier as the default scanner.
Check that the interface cable between the multifunctional copier and the
computer is connected correctly to both ports.
The scanner lamp requires replacing.
Call your local helpline. DO NOT attempt to change the lamp yourself.
Check that the interface cable between the multifunctional copier and the
computer is connected correctly to both ports.
Clean the glass and/or the underside of the scanner cover with a soft,
damp cloth.
Some types of originals, such as newsprint or newspaper photos do not
scan well.
Make sure that your multifunctional copier is selected as your current
printer. If you are printing to a printer other than multifunctional copier,
you must select that printer type within the scanning software.
Your scanner application allows you to differentiate between image types.
Always select the type that corresponds to or most closely fits the image
you wish to scan. E.g. If the original picture was identified as a drawing,
select Photograph as its picture type and then print the picture to see if
this setting improves the quality.
Note: More memory is needed for a photograph than a drawing, and the
photograph may include areas of grey that were not in the original
drawing.
Try to eliminate the patterns by reducing the copy size or by placing the
document at an angle on the glass.
Position the original correctly, aligning it with the scale at the edge of the
glass.
Make sure that your multifunctional copier is selected as your current
printer. If you are printing to a printer other than multifunctional copier,
you must select that printer type within the scanning software.
Note: It may not be possible for your scanner application to
eliminate ragged edges when scanning for a low-resolution printer
or for the screen.
Try to eliminate the patterns by reducing the copy size or by placing the
document at an angle on the glass.
Your scanner application may not be able to recognise the characters
and process them correctly. You may see joined characters in the
scanned document. Joined characters are two or more characters that
appear as one, such as when an "m" appears in place of "rn". This
problem occurs when the page has a coloured background or the font
creates tightly spaced characters (for example, Times Roman.)
The scanner cover must be closed the entire time you are scanning.
