Cleaning Your Product

Straight Lines in an Image Appear Crooked

If straight lines in an original appear crooked in a scanned image, make sure to place your original
straight when you scan it.

Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or use a small amount of glass cleaner on the
cloth, if necessary. Paper towels are not recommended.

Keep the document cover closed to prevent dirt or dust from getting inside.

Scanned Image Quality Problems

If you encounter quality problems with your scanned image, try these solutions:

Image is Distorted or Blurry

• Make sure your original is not wrinkled or warped. This may prevent the original from laying flat on the

scanner glass.

• Do not move your original or your product during scanning.

• Do not press on the document cover or the original with too much force.

• Your product will not operate properly while tilted at an angle. Place your product on a flat, stable

surface that extends beyond its base in all directions.

• Adjust these Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings (if available) and try scanning again:

• Increase the

Resolution

• If the

, adjust the

• If the
