Scanning Problems

Problem
The scanner does not work.
The printer scans very slowly.
Document misfeeds or multiple feeds occur
in the ADF.
Vertical lines appear on the output when
scanned using the ADF.
Action
There may not be enough memory to store the document. If the display shows a
Memory Full message, delete any documents you no longer need from the
memory and then restore the document, or wait for the job in progress (e.g., a fax
transmission or reception) to complete.
You may have chosen the wrong paper settings in the user option setting. See
"Print Media Guidelines" on page 162.

Action
Ensure that you place the document to be scanned face down from the document
glass, or face up in the ADF.
There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to
scan. Try the preview function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution
rate.
Check that the Ethernet or USB cable is connected properly.
Ensure that the Ethernet or USB cable is not defective. Switch the cable with a
known good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.
Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check the application you want to
use to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port.
Graphics are scanned more slowly than text when using the Scan to E-mail or Scan
to Network Folder feature.
Communication speed becomes slow in scan mode because of the large amount of
memory required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image.
Scanning images at a high resolution takes more time than scanning at a low
resolution.
Ensure that the document's paper type meets the specifications for the printer. See
"Supported Paper Types" on page 167 for more information.
Check whether the document is properly loaded in the ADF.
Ensure that the document guides are adjusted properly.
Ensure that the number of document sheets do not exceed the maximum capacity
of the ADF.
Ensure that the document is not curled.
Fan the document well before loading it in the ADF.
Clean the ADF glass.
