An image on the back of your original appears in your scanned image
If your original is printed on thin paper, images on the back may be visible to the scanner and appear in
your scanned image. Try scanning the original with a piece of black paper placed on the back of it. Also
make sure the
Document Type
and
Image Type
settings are correct for your original. See “Scanning
in Home Mode” on page 73 or “Scanning in Professional Mode” on page 75 for instructions.
Ripple patterns appear in your scanned image
A ripple or cross-hatch pattern (called moiré) may appear in a scanned image of a printed document.
It is caused by interference from the differing pitches in the scanner’s screen and the halftone screen in
your original.
