Binding Margins on a Scanned Booklet are Blurry

When scanning a booklet on the scanner glass, characters may appear distorted or blurred on the binding margin. If this occurs, the characters may not be recognized correctly when you save the scanned image as a searchable PDF.

To decrease distortion or blurring, gently press down on the document cover to flatten the booklet while scanning.

Caution:
Do not press down on the document cover with too much force, or you may damage the booklet or scanner.
