Replacement mylar strips are stored in an envelope that is underneath the white, vinly ADF backing. Follow the instructions that are in the envelope. 3. If the problem persists, calibrate the scanner. See Calibrating the scanner.

If the mylar strip is dirty or worn, replace it. Replacement mylar strips are stored in an envelope that is underneath the white, vinly ADF backing. Follow the instructions that are in the envelope. 3. If the problem persists, calibrate the scanner. See Calibrating the scanner. Image shifted (ADF) 232 Chapter 10 Solving problems ENWW
