Scanning FAQ

How can I improve the quality of a scan?

Make sure your original documents are in good condition.

Make sure the application that receives the scanned document is appropriate. For example, if you are scanning
a photo to edit it, then make sure you choose a photo editing application to receive the scan. If you are scanning
a document to edit the text, then make sure you choose an OCR application.

Use a high resolution.

Keep the scan lid closed during the scan. Do not move the original document.
