Ripple Patterns Appear in an Image
You may see a ripple pattern (called a moiré) in scanned images of printed documents. This is caused
by interference from differing pitches in the scanner's screen and your original's halftone screen. To
reduce this effect, adjust these Epson Scan 2 settings (if available) and try scanning again:
• Select the
Descreening
setting.
• Select a lower
Resolution
setting.

Scanned Image Edges are Cropped
If the edges of a scanned image are cropped, make sure your original is placed correctly for scanning. If
necessary, move your original away from the edges of the scanner glass slightly.
In the Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart settings, set the
Edge Fill
setting to
None
.
When scanning using Epson ScanSmart and placing multiple originals on the scanner glass, make sure
there is a gap of at least 0.8 in. (20 mm) between the originals.
