❏ Make the Image Size setting slightly smaller.
❏ Change the focus position setting.
Colors differ from the original.
❏ Calibrate the screen. See “Calibrating Your Screen” on page
3-3.
❏ Change the Image Type and Destination settings. See “Image
Types” on page 2-7 and “Destinations” on page 2-12 to make
sure your settings are correct.
❏ Printed colors will not exactly match the colors on your
monitor, since printers and monitors use different color
systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue), while
printers typically use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black).
Colors on your monitor are different from those in the
original image
❏ Check the image settings of your scanner software, especially
data format (bits, pixel, color), gamma correction, and color
correction. Try different combinations of these settings.
❏ Check the color matching and color management capabilities
of your computer, display adapter, and software. Some
computers can change the color palette to adjust the colors on
your screen.
❏ Exact color matching is very difficult. Check your software
and monitor documentation for information on color
matching and calibration. Also see your Color Guide.
