Colors Are Uneven in the Scanned Image

If the scanner is subject to strong light such as direct sunlight, the sensor inside the scanner misdetects the light
and colors in the scanned image become uneven.
❏ Change the orientation of the scanner so that no strong light is falling on the front of the scanner.
❏ Move the scanner to a location where it will not be subjected to strong light.
