Question: Why is it my scanned image always comes out
too dark?
Answer: 1) Please adjust the screen settings to SRGB.
2) Please adjust the brightness settings on the
screen from application software.
Question: Sometimes it seems the scanner does not detect
paper?
Answer: The scanner paper sensor is located at the center
of the paper guide. Please place the document
you need to scan on the paper guide and use the
slide guides to keep the paper path straight.
Question: When I choose optical resolution to be 600 dpi,
the "auto crop" and "deskew" functions will be
disabled.
Answer: Since to perform auto crop and deskew consumes
great deal of system memory, it is suggested if
you wish to perform "auto crop" and "deskew"
functions, please choose your optical resolution
to be smaller than 600 dpi to prevent an error
message.
