• If the Image Type setting is Black & White, adjust the Threshold setting. • If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, select the Unsharp Mask setting. • If the Image Type setting is Black & White, select Text Enhancement. If the Image Type setting is Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High. Parent topic: Solving Scanned Image Quality Problems Image Colors are Patchy at the Edges If you are scanning a thick or warped original, cover its edges with paper to block external light as you scan it. Parent topic: Solving Scanned Image Quality Problems Image is Scanned Upside-Down Your product scans using the Auto Photo Orientation setting. This setting checks the preview image for faces, the sky, and other features, and then correctly rotates the photo when it is scanned, if necessary. If your photo is not oriented correctly using this option, you can turn Auto Photo Orientation off and scan again. When Photo Mode is selected, select Thumbnail Options from the Main Settings tab. Select On or Off and scan your document again. Note: Auto Photo Orientation does not work when you scan newspapers, magazines, documents, illustrations, or line art, or images smaller than 2 inches (5.1 cm) on any side. Parent topic: Solving Scanned Image Quality Problems Image is Too Dark If your scanned image is too dark, try these solutions: • If the Image Type is set to Color or Grayscale, adjust the Brightness setting. • Check the brightness and contrast settings of your computer monitor.
