Originals are curling up in the scanner output tray
Under dry conditions, lightweight originals such as those printed on carbonless copy
paper may curl in the output tray. To minimize curl, flatten curled edges on the originals
before placing them in the document feeder. If you cannot flatten curled edges, make
sure the curled edges are facing down when you place the originals in the document
feeder.
The bottom of the scanned image is cut off
By default, the scanning software can scan media that is up to 356 mm (14 in) long. For
longer pages, the end of the document is not included in the scanned image.
Verify that you have specified an appropriate page size in the scanning software.
