Canon varioPRINT 140 Series - Optimize the Scan Quality; Problems and Solutions

Optimize the Scan Quality
Introduction
The printer can detect photos, rasters and fine lines on the original. This information is processed
in such a way that the digital result has a high scan quality. This means that in most cases you do
not need to adjust quality settings to get the best result.
Problems and Solutions
Description of the problem Solution
All the pages are upside
down
You placed the originals in the wrong direction into the automatic
document feeder (ADF) or on the glass plate.
Make sure the originals are placed correctly and scan the originals
again.
Every second page is up-
side down
The [Original type] and [Size] settings that you selected do not
correspond with the orientation of the information on the origi-
nals.
Select the correct [Original type] and [Size] settings and scan the
originals again.
All the pages are posi-
tioned sideways
There is more than one explanation for this problem.
• Wrong orientation selected.
• Original feed direction confused with the orientation of the in-
formation on the original.
• The application you use does not process the TIFF/PDF file in
the right way.
Select the correct [Original type] and [Size] settings and scan the
originals again. If the problem remains, the application you use
can be the cause of the problem. Check the results in another ap-
plication.
The information on the
page is too large or too
small
This problem can occur when the size of the original and the se-
lected size of the target scan are not the same. The problem can
also be caused by a (manual) change in the zoom factor.
Check the size of the [Original] and the [File] on the operator panel
and scan the originals again.
The information on the
page is too light or too
dark
You can change the [Exposure] settings to influence the result.
