Image Colors Are Patchy At The Edges - Epson WF-M5899 User Manual

• Adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Make sure you select the correct Image Type for your original.
• Select the Advanced Settings tab and adjust the Brightness setting.
• Select Text Enhancement.
Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match Original Colors
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on your computer monitor because printers and
monitors use different color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers typically use
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the
software you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors you see on your screen.
Remove any dust or dirt from your originals and clean the scanner glass. Do not press with too much
force on the original or document cover.
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try
scanning again:
• If the Image Type setting is Auto, Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.
