Depending on the settings in MP Navigator, your images may not always scan correctly.
If you get poor results, you will need to match the settings in MP Navigator to the document you want to scan.
Examples of incorrect scan results
A scan that's crooked

To correct a scan, you'll need to check a few things:
-
Does the Document Type on the scanner surface match the Document Type set in MP Navigator?
For example, when scanning a color photo, did you select Color Photo in Document Type of MP Navigator?
-
Does the Document Size on the scanner surface match the Document Size in MP Navigator?
For example, when the Document Size is A4, did you select A4 in Document Size of MP Navigator?
Auto Detect is the default setting.
If the settings don't match, follow the appropriate steps below.
