Paper jams in the Automatic Document Feeder. Follow these steps to remove the jammed paper. 1. Open the Automatic Document Feeder’s cover.
2. Pull forward on the jam-release lever and slowly pull the jammed paper out of the feeder mechanism. (Be careful not to pull too hard; the paper may tear, making it more difficult to remove.) 3. Close the document feeder cover and make sure the READY light is on and not flashing, and the ERROR light is off. The scanner does not scan in Windows 98 after changing the SCSI ID number or the SCSI board.
Quality problems The image is distorted or blurred. ❏ Make sure the document is uniformly flat against the document table. c Caution: Do not place heavy objects on the document table. ❏ Make sure you do not accidentally move the document during scanning. ❏ Make sure the scanner is on a flat, stable surface. ❏ A document that is very thick or warped at the edges can cause distortion or discoloration. Cover the edges of the document with paper to block outside light. The image is faint.
❏ Check the brightness and contrast settings of your computer display. Image is dark, with little or no detail. Select Screen/Web as the Destination setting in EPSON TWAIN Pro. For details, see “Selecting a Destination” on page 2-9. Note: Though selecting a printer may cause on-screen colors to differ from the colors of the original, the colors will be reproduced correctly when printed. You cannot scan an image or you only get a few dots for the scanned image.
Straight lines in the image come out jagged. Make sure the document orientation is perfectly straight on the document table. Align vertical and horizontal lines with the scales at the top and side of the document table. The image does not look the same as the original. ❏ Make sure the image settings of your software are appropriate for the type of image you want to scan. ❏ Try different image setting combinations in your scanner software.
❏ Place a transparent sheet between the document and document table to defocus the image. ❏ Move or angle the document slightly on the document table. ❏ Select Off from the Unsharp Mask list in the Destination dialog box. ❏ Make the image size slightly smaller. ❏ Change the focus setting. Colors differ from the original. ❏ Make sure the Image Type and Destination settings are correct. To change these settings, see “Selecting an Image Type” on page 2-4 and “Selecting a Destination” on page 2-9.
Printed colors 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). Check your software and printer documentation, or contact your printer company, for information on color matching and calibration. Scanned image is too large. Select Screen/Web as the Destination setting.
❏ The dark area around the film, such as the frame of the film holder, is perceived as white, which alters the exposure of the scanning area and causes scans to appear darker. To view the correct color, click and drag the mouse over an area, and then click the Zoom button in the Preview window. Software setup problems You cannot install EPSON TWAIN Pro. ❏ Check if your computer and operating system meet the system requirements listed in “Installing the Software” on page 3-1 of the online Setup Guide.
