Solving Problems
Quality Problems
Make sure your original photo or
document is in good condition. If it’s
damaged, dirty, or wrinkled, these
imperfections will show up in your
scan. If the original looks okay, check
for solutions in the sections below.
Note: You can use various filters—
such as Color Restoration or Dust
Removal—to clean up your original
images (see page 33).
The colors in your scanned image
look different from the colors in the
original document.
■ Make sure the Image Type setting
in EPSON Scan is correct. In
Professional Mode, try selecting an
Image Type setting that offers
greater color depth (if your
imaging application supports it).
■ In Home Mode, select a
Document Type that matches
what you’re scanning.
■ Marquee-select only the area in
your image that you want to scan.
Avoid selecting any borders.
■ You can adjust individual color
tones in Professional Mode by
using the
Histogram
Adjustment or Tone
Correction controls.
■ Select suitable color control
settings in EPSON Scan (see
page 31).
■ For the greatest color accuracy, use
a color management tool such as
MonacoEZcolor (included with
your scanner).
Note: Your printer and monitor
may not always match the
colors in the original exactly,
because the technologies
produce color in different ways.
Your scanned image is blank, or it’s
too light or too dark.
■ Adjust the Brightness and Contrast
settings in EPSON Scan.
■ Make sure the document is face
down on the document table.
■ If you’re using the optional ADF,
make sure the original document is
inserted face up.
■ If scanning text or line art, select
Black&White for the Image Type
and adjust the Threshold setting.
Your scanned image is out of focus.
■ Check the position and condition
of your document. Make sure it is
flat against the scanner’s document
glass. If only part of the image is
blurred, your document may be
wrinkled or warped.
■ If you’ve placed transparent film
directly on the document glass, or
if you’re using film holders other
than those that came with the
TPU, you may have to adjust the
focus (see page 50).
