Image Consists of a Few Dots Only
If your scanned image consists only of a few dots, try these solutions:
• Make sure you placed your original for scanning facing the correct way.
• If the Image Type setting is Black & White, adjust the Threshold and scan again.
• Remove any lint or dirt from your original.
• Do not press on the original or the document cover with too much force.

Line of Dots Appears in All Scanned Images
If a line of dots appears in all your scanned images, try these solutions:
• Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or use a small amount of glass cleaner on the
cloth, if necessary. Paper towels are not recommended.
Caution: Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the scanner glass.
• Make sure any interface cables are securely connected at both ends.
Keep the document cover closed to prevent dirt or dust from getting inside.
