There could be a number of reasons why your scanner is not printing correctly.
1. File type incompatibility – Scanners often have difficulty with certain document types, especially if they are stored in image or non-standard formats, such as PDFs. If your scanner has a file format incompatibility, it may read the data incorrectly, resulting in inaccurate prints.
2. Wrong resolution setting – You should make sure that you are using the correct resolution when scanning a document. A low resolution setting will result in a fuzzy or distorted printout.
3. Poor Quality Printing – The quality of prints can also be affected by the age of the machine and the quality of the toner or ink used. If the printer is more than two years old, the cartridges may not be providing optimal performance, resulting in poor quality prints.
4. Poor Maintenance – It’s important to maintain your scanner properly, by replacing dirty rollers, dusting off the optical pickups, and regularly cleaning the cartridge heads. Neglecting to keep your scanner maintained can lead to poorer quality prints.
5. Wrong Scanner Type – Different scanners use different technologies to scan documents. Some scanners may be better suited for certain types of documents than others, so make sure you are using the right one for the job.
6. Too Many Refills/Political Corrections – If you’re using a scanner that requires refilling, you may find that too many times of refills will cause the prints to come out blurred or distorted. Political corrections may also affect the accuracy of the prints.
7. Bad Print Head – If the problem persists after trying all the above troubleshooting tips, it is possible that the problem is caused by a bad printhead, which would need to be replaced.
