Issue
Scan quality is poor (Image displayed on the monitor).
Cause and Solution
Make sure the document cover is fully closed when scanning.
External light causes partial overexposure, streak or colored pattern on the image.
If the document cover does not close properly due to the document larger than the document glass, cover the document with a thick dark cloth to shut out any external light.
Notes for placing items to be scanned
Make sure that dust or dirt does not stick to the document glass.
* Remove any dust from the document glass.
Use a soft dry cloth or a blower brush to remove dust.
