5. If the problem persists, proceed to analyze areas I and J of the diagnostic plot across modules =, 1 and 3. In the three examples below, the top example is ideal, the middle example can be regarded as acceptable; but, if you see something similar to the bottom example (or worse), call HP support and report "grain in area fills". Small color differences between adjacent scanbars When scanning wide plots, sometimes slightly different colors can be seen at both sides of the junction between two scanbars. This issue, if present, can be easily seen by analyzing patterns A and G of the diagnostic plot at the intersection between scanbars. Here are some examples: NOTE: The black arrow indicates the scanning direction. Sometimes the color mismatch between adjacent modules can be enormous, showing a serious scanner malfunction, as in the following example.

Small color differences between adjacent scanbars
When scanning wide plots, sometimes slightly different colors can be seen at both sides of the junction
between two scanbars. This issue, if present, can be easily seen by analyzing patterns A and G of the
diagnostic plot at the intersection between scanbars.
Here are some examples:
NOTE:
The black arrow indicates the scanning direction.
Sometimes the color mismatch between adjacent modules can be enormous, showing a serious
scanner malfunction, as in the following example. If this occurs, see
