❒ If you cannot make copies as you want because of paper type, paper size, or

paper capacity problems, use recommended paper. See “Copy Paper”, About This Machine.

❒ Using curled paper often causes misfeeds, soiled paper edges, or slipped po-

sitions while performing staple or stack printing. When using curled paper, take the stiffness out of the paper with your hands to straighten out the curl, or load the paper up side down. Also, to prevent paper from curling, lay paper on a flat surface, and do not lean it against the wall.

When Scanning is Not Done as Expected

This section explains causes and remedies when scan results are not as expected.

Problem Cause Solution

The scanned image is dirty.

The image is distorted or out of position.

The scanned image is upside down.

No image results from scanning.

Images are scanned in rotated.

The exposure glass or auto document feeder (ADF) is dirty.

The original was moved during scanning.

The original was not pressed flat against the exposure glass.

The original was placed upside down.

The original was placed with the front and back reversed.

If you set the original with its upper edge backward and save full colour/grey scale images as a TIFF or JPEG file, they are scanned in rotated.

Clean these parts. See p.106 “Maintaining Your Machine”.

Do not move the original during scanning.

Make sure that the original is pressed flat against the exposure glass.

Place the original in the correct orientation. See “Placing Originals”, Copy/Document Server Reference.

When the original is placed directly on the exposure glass, the side to be scanned must face down. When the original is fed via the ADF, the side to be scanned must face up. See “Placing Originals”, Copy/Document Server Reference.

When placing a stack of originals in the ADF, place their upper edges first.

The scanned image contains white spaces.

• If you scan originals using functions other than the network TWAIN scanner function, certain paper size and resolution settings may produce scanned images that are larger than the specified size because of margins being added to the sides.

• If the File Format Converter (optional ) is installed, the margins may become wider.

Scanning at a higher resolution may reduce the margins.
