takes place on the back side, toner will not adhere well to the paper and a good image
will not be obtained.
The printed image is light and
uneven.

You have not specified a suitable value for the "B/W Threshold" setting.
→ If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and are using "Red", "Green"
or "Blue" mode from "Light Source" menu, make sure that a suitable value is specified
for the "B/W Threshold" setting. A larger threshold value makes your output darker,
while a small threshold value makes it lighter. To adjust the threshold automatically,
click the "Auto Threshold" button on the "Image" tab of the "Custom Settings" screen.

The brightness and contrast settings are not suitable.
→ If you are scanning with a TWAIN-compliant application and the resulting image has
unsuitable brightness or contrast (for example it is too bright), click the "Auto
Brightness/Contrast Adjustment" button on the "Color" tab of the "Custom Settings"
screen. Click the "Brightness/Contrast" button to adjust the brightness and the
contrast while viewing the scanned output image on the screen. If you are scanning

and extended scanning times. The scanning preferences should be set appropriately
for the type of original to be scanned, i.e., Web page (monitor), Photo, FAX, or OCR.
Your computer does not meet the system requirements for the USB 2.0 interface
