Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Blurry Scans

Reason: Insufficient lighting or shaky hands during scanning.
Solution: Ensure adequate lighting and use a stable surface to prevent blurring.

2. Skewed or Crooked Scans

Reason: The document wasn't placed straight within the scanning frame.
Solution: Carefully align the document with the edges of the scanning area before capturing the image.

3. Unreadable Text

Reason: Poor image quality due to shadows, glare, or low resolution.
Solution: Reduce glare by adjusting lighting or using a flash, and ensure the entire document is clearly visible.

FAQs

Can I scan multiple pages into a single PDF document?
Yes! Most scanning apps allow you to add multiple scanned pages to a single PDF file before saving. Look for a 'plus' or 'add' button after each scan to continue adding pages.
What if the scan quality is poor? How can I improve it?
Ensure you have sufficient lighting and that the document is flat and free from shadows. Many apps offer image enhancement features like adjusting brightness, contrast, and cropping. Experiment with different settings to optimize the scan quality. Also, using the Samsung's built-in 'Auto' mode can help.
