Troubleshooting Guide

Ensure that the scanner sharing feature is disabled when you use Mac OS X before
you scan documents via an ICA compatible application such as Image Capture.
The printer does not support the scanner sharing feature of Mac OS X. Select a
printer which is directly connected to the computer via USB or wired /wireless
LAN and scan documents.
The printer scans very slowly.
Graphics are scanned more slowly than text when using the
Scan to
or
Scan to Network
feature.
Communication speed becomes slow in scan mode because of the large amount of
memory required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image.
Scanning images at a high resolution takes more time than scanning at a low
resolution.
Document misfeeds or multiple feeds occur
in the DADF.
Check whether the DADF roller assembly is installed properly.
Ensure the document’s paper type meets the specifications for the printer. See
"Supported Paper Types" for more information.
Check whether the document is properly loaded in the DADF.
Ensure that the document guides are adjusted properly.
Ensure that the number of document sheets do not exceed the maximum capacity
of the DADF.
Ensure that the document is not curled.
Fan the document well before loading it in the DADF.
Vertical blanks or streaks appear on the
output when scanned using the DADF.
Clean the DADF glass.
Clean inside the printer by using the cleaning rod. See "Cleaning the Raster
Optical Scanner (ROS) Window."
A smear appears at the same location on the
output when scanned using the document
glass.
Clean the document glass.
Images are skewed.
Ensure that the document is loaded straight in the DADF or on the document
glass.
Diagonal lines appear jagged when scanned
using the DADF.
If the document uses thick media, try scanning it from the document glass.
