Scanned image shows dotted lines instead of text
Solution: Make a black-and-white copy of the original and then scan the copy.
Cause: If you used the Text image type to scan text that you planned to edit, the
scanner might not have recognized color text. The Text image type scans at 300 x 300
dpi, in black and white.
If you scanned an original that has graphics or artwork surrounding the text, the
scanner might not have recognized the text.
Text format is incorrect
Solution: Some applications cannot handle framed text formatting. Framed text is
one of the scan document settings in the software. It maintains complex layouts, such
as multiple columns from a newsletter, by putting the text in different frames (boxes)
in the destination application. In the software, select the correct format so that the
scanned text layout and formatting are retained.
Cause: The scan document settings were incorrect.
