Scan troubleshooting
Use this section to solve these scan problems:
Scanned image is incorrectly cropped
Scanned image shows dotted lines instead of text
Text format is incorrect
Text is incorrect or missing
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 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.
