A copied or scanned image is very skewed
Originals are often loaded into the scanner with some degree of skew. In order to correct for this unavoidable
problem, the scanner has a built-in automatic de-skew algorithm, which measures the skew in the original
and rotates the scanned image so that the result is perfectly straight. However, in some cases the de-skew
algorithm may increase the skew rather than correcting it. In other cases, the skew is so bad that it cannot be
automatically corrected.
To load the original with minimum skew, grasp the original with the image facing up and your hands at left
and right edges. You are recommended to avoid resting your hands or the original on the scanner's input tray.
Push the original into the scanner insertion slot until you feel the whole top border of the original pressing
against the scanner rubber rolls, which will load the original after a delay of 0.5 seconds. Now you can take
your hands off the original. If you are not happy with the way the scanner has grabbed your original, you can
press
and try again.
The action of the automatic de-skew algorithm can be deactivated by pressing , then Print, Scan &
Copy quicksets, then Scan quicksets or Copy quicksets (you might want to deactivate it in one case but not
in the other). You can also deactivate the automatic de-skew from the quickset you are using at every new
scanner job.
