If you encounter quality problems with your scanned
image, try these solutions:
Image is Distorted or Blurry
- Do not move your original or your product during
scanning.
- Do not press on the document cover or the original
with too much force.
- If you are scanning from the ADF, place your
originals on the scanner glass. Some originals may not be scanned
properly from the ADF.
- Your product will not operate properly while tilted
at an angle. Place your product on a flat, stable surface that
extends beyond its base in all directions.
- Adjust these Epson Scan 2 or Epson
ScanSmart settings (if available) and try scanning again:
- Increase the Resolution setting.
- If the Image Type
setting is Black & White,
adjust the Threshold
setting.
- If the Image Type
setting is Color or Grayscale, select the Unsharp Mask setting.
- If the Image Type
setting is Black & White,
select Text Enhancement. If the
Image Type setting is
Color or Grayscale, change the Text Enhancement setting to High.
Image is Too Dark
- If the Image Type
is set to Color or Grayscale, adjust the Brightness setting.
- Check the brightness and contrast settings of your
computer monitor.

Scanned Image Colors Do Not Match
Original Colors
Printed colors can never exactly match the colors on
your computer monitor because printers and monitors use different
color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and blue) and printers
typically use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Check the color matching and color management
capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and the software
you are using to see if they are affecting the palette of colors
you see on your screen.
To adjust the colors in your scanned image, adjust
these Epson Scan 2 or Epson ScanSmart
settings (if available) and try scanning again:
- If the Image Type
setting is Color or Grayscale, adjust the Contrast setting.
- If the
Image Type setting is
Black & White or Grayscale, adjust the Color Enhance setting.
