Scanning Problems

The scanner does not work.
Ensure that you place the document to be scanned face down on the
document glass, or face up in the ADF.
There may not be enough available memory to hold the document
you want to scan. Try the Preview function to see if that works. Try
lowering the scan resolution rate.
Check that the USB cable is connected properly.
Ensure that the USB cable is not defective. Switch the cable with a
known good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.
Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check the application
you want to use to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to
the correct port.
The printer scans very slowly.
Graphics are scanned more slowly than text when using the Scan to
E-Mail or Scan to Network feature.
Communication speed becomes slow in scan mode because of the
large amount of memory required to analyze and reproduce the
scanned image.
Scanning images at a high resolution takes more time than scanning
at a low resolution.
Document misfeeds or multiple
feeds occur in the ADF.
Ensure that the document’s paper type meets the specifications for
the printer.

maximum capacity of the ADF.
Ensure that the document is not curled.
Fan the document well before loading it in the ADF.
Vertical stripes appear on the
output when scanned using the
ADF.
Clean the ADF glass.

Images are skewed.
Ensure that the document is loaded straight in the ADF or on the
document glass.

glass.
