    The printed image is light and 
    uneven.The paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the 
    back side of the paper.
    →Some paper types have a front and back side. If the paper is 
    loaded so that printing takes place on the back side, toner will not 
    adhere well to the paper and a good image will not be obtained.10
    The printed image is dirty.You are using paper that is outside the specified size and 
    weight range.
    →Use copy paper within the specified range.

    During periods when the machine is not used for a long time, 
    remove the paper from the tray and store it in a dark place in a 
    bag to prevent moisture absorption.
    –
    You did not set sufficient margins in the paper settings of 
    your application.
    →The top and bottom of the paper may be dirty if the margins are 
    set outside of the specified print quality area.
    →Set the margins in the software application within the specified 
    print quality area.–
    The printed image is skewed or it 
    runs off the paper.The paper loaded in the tray is not the same size as that 
    specified in the printer driver.
    →Check if the Paper Size options suit the size of the paper loaded 
    in the tray.
    →If the Fit To Paper Size setting is activated, make sure that the 
    paper size selected from the drop-down list is the same as the 
    size of the loaded paper.

    You have not specified a suitable resolution.
    →Make sure that the resolution setting in the scanner driver is 
    appropriate for the original.–
    You are scanning a large area (for example an entire A3) 
    at high resolution.
    →If you attempt to scan a large area at high resolution and there is 
    insufficient memory in the machine to hold the scanned data, 
    scanning will take place at a lower resolution and the scanner 
    driver will enhance the data to make up for the lower resolution. 
    However, the quality of the enhanced image will not be as high as 
    if scanning took place at the higher resolution. Use a lower 
    resolution setting, or scan a smaller area.
    –
    You have not specified a suitable value for the B/W 
    Threshold setting.
    →If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application, make 
    sure that a suitable value is specified for the B/W Threshold 
    setting. A larger threshold value makes your output darker, while 
    a small threshold value makes it lighter. To adjust the threshold 
    automatically, click the Auto Threshold button on the Image 
    tab of the Professional screen.
    –
    The brightness and contrast settings are not suitable.
    →If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and the 
    resulting image has unsuitable brightness or contrast (for 
    example it is too bright), click the Auto Brightness/Contrast 
    Adjustment button on the Colour tab of the Professional 
    screen. Click the Brightness/Contrast button to adjust the 
    brightness and the contrast while viewing the scanned output 
    image on the screen. If you are scanning with a WIA-compliant 
    application or the Scanner and Camera Wizard, click Adjust the 
    quality of the scanned picture or the Custom settings button, 
    and adjust the brightness and contrast in the screen that appears.

    TWAIN/WIA-compliant application.–
    You have not specified all scanning preferences 
    appropriately.
    →Scanning a large area at high resolution results in a large amount 
    of data and extended scanning times. The scanning preferences 
    should be set appropriately for type of original to be scanned, i.e., 
    Text, Text/Graphics, Photograph.–
    There is not enough machine memory.
