I see lines through all my scanned images. What should I do?

• If spots or lines appear in all your scanned images, try these solutions:

  • Clean inside the scanner using a cleaning sheet.
  • Calibrate the scanner using a calibration sheet.
  • Make sure the surface of your original is clean.
  • Avoid scanning in direct sunlight.

  Note: If you are scanning a plastic card with a shiny surface, a line may appear in the scan.
