which the color is important.

Scan quality
Dirt, fingerprints, smudges, hair and other marks on the scanner glass slows scanner performance and
affects the accuracy of special features such as fit-to-page and copy. To improve the quality of your
copies and scans, clean the scanner glass. See
Clean the scanner glass on page 184.
