Scan Quality Problems
The image size or position 
is incorrect.
Make sure the paper and/or layout options are set 
correctly. See your electronic Reference Guide (as 
described on page 2) for more information.
The image is inverted, as if 
viewed in a mirror.
Turn off Flip Horizontal in the printer software or the 
mirror setting in your application software. (If you’re 
printing on EPSON Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer Paper, 
the image should be inverted so it looks correct when it’s 
ironed on.)
Your scanned image is 
blurry or distorted.
Check the position and condition of your document. 
Make sure the document is placed flat against the 
document table glass. If only part of the image is 
blurred, part of your document may be wrinkled or 
warped.
Try scanning at a higher resolution. See page 22 for 
recommended settings.
Make sure the document table glass is clean; see 
page 31.
Make sure the EPSON 1000 ICS is not tilted or 
placed on an unstable or uneven surface.
Your image is too dark.
Try adjusting the brightness with your application 
software. Also check the brightness and contrast values 
of your display screen.
The dark area around film, such as the frame of the 
film holder, is perceived as white—altering the 
exposure of the scanning area and causing your scans 
to appear darker. Set the correct color by adjusting the 
marquee (frame border) so none of the film holder is 
selected. See your electronic Reference Guide (as 
described on page 2).
