Scan-quality problems

Prevent scan-quality problems

The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy and scan quality.

Use the flatbed scanner, rather than the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray, to scan.

Use high-quality originals.

Load the media correctly. If the media is loaded incorrectly, it might skew, which causes unclear
images. See

Load paper and print media on page 58

for instructions.

Adjust the software settings according to how you plan to use the scanned page. See

Scanner

resolution and color on page 100

for more information.

If your product frequently feeds more than one page at a time, the separation pad might need to
be replaced. Contact HP. See

www.hp.com/support/CM1312series

or the support flyer that came

in the product box.
