3. Disconnect the power supply from the scanner and turn off the computer. After 30 seconds,
reconnect the power supply to the scanner and then turn on the computer, in that order.
4. Try to rescan.
Originals are curling up in the scanner output tray.
Under dry conditions, lightweight originals such as those printed on carbonless copy paper may curl
in the output tray. To minimize curl, flatten curled edges on the originals before placing them in the
document feeder. If you cannot flatten curled edges, make sure the curled edges are facing down
when you place the originals in the document feeder.
The bottom of the scanned image is cut off
By default, the scanning software can scan media that is up to 356 mm (14 in) long. For longer
pages, the end of the document is not included in the scanned image.
Verify that you have specified an appropriate page size in the scanning software.
The scanned images have streaks or scratches
After each step, try another scan to see if the streaks or scratches are still apparent. If so, then try the
next step. For information on cleaning the scanner, see the Care and maintenance section.
