This RAP addresses image quality problems associated with the DADF.
Initial Actions
1. Check that supported media is being used.
2. Reseat all cable connections between the Scanner Assembly and the Electronics Module.
3. Cycle power to the system.
NOTE: There can be slight color variations from an original copy to a solid ink print resulting
from the physical properties of the original, (i.e., ink jet copy, laser toner copy, etc.). Reds may
never match the original. A Laser Original Mode is also available to adjust the imaging system
to more accurately produce copies of laser originals. Color matching varies because the reflec-
tive characteristics of the original vary.
