• Before placing originals on the exposure glass, make
sure that toner or correction fluid is dry.
The original was moved during scanning. Do not move the
original during scanning.
The original was placed upside down. Place the original in the
correct orientation. See p.119 "Placing Originals".
The original was placed with the front and back reversed.
When using the exposure glass, place originals copy side
down. When using the ARDF or ADF, place originals copy
side up. See p.119 "Placing Originals".
Low room temperature may have caused the machine to scan
originals unclearly. Selecting [Long] for [Scan Warm-up Time]
under system settings may help to improve the scanning
quality. See p.279 "System Settings".
Adjust the image density. See p.192 "Adjusting image
density".
Check if a USB flash disk is inserted into the machine. If a USB
flash disk is inserted, scanning functions other than Scan to
USB are not possible from the control panel.
