Problem The scan takes too long. Cause Solution The resolution or color level is set too high. Change the resolution and color level settings to the correct settings for the job. The software is set to scan in color. The system default is color, which takes longer to scan even when scanning a monochrome original. If you acquire an image through TWAIN or WIA, you can change the settings so that the original scans in grayscale or black-and-white. See the device software Help for details. A print job or copy job was sent before you tried to scan. If someone sent a print job or copy job before you tried to scan, the scan starts if the scanner is not busy. However, because the printer and scanner share memory, the scan might be slower. Resolve scan-quality problems using the table. Problem Cause Solution Blank pages The original might have been loaded upside down. On the flatbed scanner, place the original document face-down with the upper-left corner of the document at the lower-right corner of the glass. The scanner bulb might not be working. If the scanner bulb does not light, verify that the cables from the scanner to the formatter are connected correctly. If the error persists, replace parts one at a time in the following order until the problem is resolved: scanner assembly, and finally the formatter.
