Placing Originals on the Scanner Glass

Image is Distorted or Blurry

If a scanned image appears distorted or blurry, try these solutions:

• 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.

• 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 settings (if available) and try scanning again:

• Select the

Unsharp Mask

setting.

• Adjust the

Auto Exposure

setting.

• Increase the

Resolution

setting.
