Preventing problems

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

Use quality originals.

Load the media correctly. If the media is loaded incorrectly, it
might skew, causing unclear images and problems with the
OCR application. See

Loading originals in the copier/scanner

for instructions.

Open or close the straight-through output door on the
copier/scanner to accommodate the copy job. If you are
copying to standard weight media, use the output bin (door
closed). If you are copying to heavy media, use the
straight-through output path (door open).

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

Enhancing the scanned

image in HP Document Manager

and

Scanner resolution and

color

for more information.

If your copier/scanner frequently feeds more than one page
at a time, replace the copier/scanner separation pad.
Recurring feed problems indicate that the copier/separation
pad is worn. See

Accessories and ordering information

to

order a new copier/scanner separation pad. See

Paper

handling problems

for more information about replacing the

copier/scanner separation pad.

Use or make a carrier sheet to protect your originals.
