Scan Quality Is Poor or Colors Are Scanned Incorrectly
If the quality of the image displayed on the monitor is poor, check Check 1 to Check 3.
Check 1: The Platen or the light source on the Document Cover may be
dusty or dirty.
Remove dust and dirt from the Platen and the light source on the Document Cover.
Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover
Check 2: If the film is dusty, blow off the dust then set it in place.
Check 3: Light may reflect off white slide mounts into images. In that case,
use black slide mounts or cover the white slide mounts with black frames.
Check 4: Recalibrate the scanner from the Scanner tab of the Preferences
dialog box.

Check 5: If the film is in poor condition (dirty, faded, etc.), use Reduce Dust
and Scratches, Fading Correction, Grain Correction, etc. in Image Settings
in Advanced Mode of ScanGear (scanner driver).

Note
If a print out of an image does not appear satisfactory or the same as what you see on the monitor,
you may need to change the printer's settings. Or, there may be a problem with the printer.
See "
Print Results Not Satisfactory
" for details.
Check 6: If circular stripe patterns (Newton's rings) appear, load the film
face-up and click Preview, then click
(Mirror) on the Toolbar of
ScanGear (scanner driver) to invert the image, then click Scan.
Check 7: The film may be extremely dark or bright, or the spaces between
frames are extremely narrow (2 mm is standard).
Scan again using ScanGear (scanner driver) if MP Navigator EX or the Operation Panel of the machine
yielded less than satisfactory colors.
Check 8: Adjust the brightness, contrast, tone curve, etc. on the Advanced
Mode tab if the colors of the ScanGear's preview scan was unsatisfactory.
Correcting Images and Adjusting Colors with ScanGear (Scanner Driver)
Check 9: Adjust the saturation and color balance on the Advanced Mode
tab of ScanGear (scanner driver) if the scanned image appears reddish or
bluish.
