Chapter 14 Scanned image is blank Solution: Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass. Cause: The original was placed incorrectly on the glass. Scanned image is incorrectly cropped Solution: The autocropping feature in the software crops anything that is not part of the main image. Sometimes this might not be what you want. In that case, turn off autocropping in the software and crop the scanned image manually, or not at all. Cause: The software was set to automatically crop scanned pictures. Scanned image has incorrect page layout Solution: Turn off autocropping in the software to retain the page layout. Cause: Automatic cropping was changing the page layout. Scanned image shows dotted lines instead of text Solution: Make a black-and-white copy of the original and then scan the copy. Cause: If you used the Text image type to scan text that you planned to edit, the scanner might not have recognized color text. The Text image type scans at 300 x 300 dpi, in black and white. If you scanned an original that has graphics or artwork surrounding the text, the scanner might not have recognized the text. Text format is incorrect Solution: Some applications cannot handle framed text formatting. Framed text is one of the scan document settings in the software. It maintains complex layouts, such as multiple columns from a newsletter, by putting the text in different frames (boxes) in the destination application. In the software, select the correct format so that the scanned text layout and formatting are retained. 166 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting
