Are the glass and rollers inside the ADF clean?

Solution

Clean the dirty parts.

For details, refer to Daily Care.

Is the resolution appropriate?

Solution

Specify a higher resolution in the scanner driver.

Did you configure the settings in the scanner driver to scan in grayscale or color mode?

Solution

Configure the settings in the scanner driver to scan in black & white mode.

When you scan in grayscale or in color mode, the scanned image may not become sharp and clear.

Solution

Remove any foreign matter off the document.

Foreign matter may get on the glass that is inside the ADF, and cause the image to appear dirty.
