Troubleshooting Scan and Copy Issues
Inaccurately produced colors.
You have to deal with several variables if you want perfect color
matching between the original you are scanning and the copy or
scanned file you obtain as a result. Follow these guidelines if you
find undesired colors as in the example (original on left, scanned
image on right).
1. Consider your originals:
•
Copies
: Good color matching between a given original and its
copy can be achieved only if both are printed on the same type of
paper.
•
Scans
: Good color matching can be achieved only if your monitor
is color-calibrated or compliant with sRGB or AdobeRGB
standards.
2. Reboot the printer and scan or copy again.
3. If the above conditions are met, consider that various scanner
settings can affect the final color result (see

To obtain the best possible colors, set:
•
Darker/Lighter
=
Normal
•
Background color and noise removal
=
Off
•
Content Type
=
Image
(only if copying)
•
Translucent Media
=
not selected
.
4. For optimum color results, clean the scan bars (see
5. Avoid placing scanner in direct sunlight or near sources of
