An Image on the Back of Your Original Appears in Your Scanned Image
If your original is printed on thin paper, images on the back may be visible to the scanner and
appear in your scanned image. Try scanning the original with a piece of black paper placed on
the back of it. Also make sure the Document Type and Image Type settings are correct for your
original. See

Ripple Patterns Appear in Your Scanned Image
A ripple or cross-hatch pattern (called moiré) may appear in a scanned image of a printed
document. It is caused by interference from the differing pitches in the scanner’s screen and
the halftone screen in your original.
