Copy quality is unacceptable
This section provides information about the following topics:

Preventing problems
The following are a few simple steps you can take to improve copy quality:
Copy from the flatbed scanner. This will produce a higher quality copy than copying from
the automatic document feeder (ADF).
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 
 for
instructions.
If your device frequently feeds more than one page at a time, the separation pad might
need to be replaced. For more information, see 
.
Use or make a carrier sheet to protect your originals.
Note
Recurring feed problems indicate the copier/separation pad is worn. See 
for more information about contacting an authorized service provider.
