HINT
●
When scanning semi-transparent documents, slide the [Brightness] bar to light to
avoid bleed through.
●
To prevent the rollers from becoming dirty, avoid scanning documents containing
large areas written or filled in pencil. If scanning of such documents is inevitable,
clean the rollers more frequently.
