Resolving issues with scanned images
This section contains solutions to issues that affect all scanned 
images, regardless of whether you used the scanner glass or the ADF. 
If you were printing, see also "Resolving issues with printed copies" on 
page 82.
Scanned images are too light or too dark.
The original image might be very light or dark or be printed on 
colored paper. Adjust the midtone, highlight, and shadow settings 
from the HP PrecisionScan Pro software. See "Scanning from HP 
PrecisionScan Pro" on page 29.
Scanned images have black dots or streaks in top and bottom 
margins. 
There might be ink, glue, white-out, or some other substance on 
the scanner glass. Clean the scanner glass. See "Cleaning the 
scanner" on page 95.
