Q:

My image is distorted or blurred when I scan. What should I do?

A:

Try the following:

Make sure the document or photo lies flat on the document table and is not wrinkled or warped.

Caution: Do not place heavy objects on the document table glass and do not press the glass with too much force.

Make sure you do not move the document or photo, or your scanner while scanning.

Make sure the scanner is placed on a flat, stable surface.

Make sure Unsharp Mask is selected in Epson Scan’s Professional Mode window. See Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for documents and photos or Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for film and slides.

Adjust the Auto Exposure setting in Epson Scan’s Professional Mode window. See Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for documents and photos or Adjusting the Color and Other Image Settings for film and slides.

You can also click Configuration in the Epson Scan window, click the Color tab, then click the Recommended Value button to return the Auto Exposure setting to the default value. See Epson Scan Help for details.
