Got a gray cast when scanning despite white paper?


It is not uncommon for older scanners to have a gray cast when scanning white paper on Windows 11, 10, ... and MS Server OS!




Since the scanner is getting older and older, regardless of whether it is EPSON, CANON, HP, BROTHER, ... the light of the scanning lamp becomes weaker and weaker over time. It is a simple sign of age on the scanner; stripes and other errors can even occur during scanning. It is not the WinScan2PDF program!

1.) Solving the gray cast problem on white paper!

1. Start WinScan2PDF as always 

2. Go, for example, to Edit WIA profile

3. Press the "Add" button

4. Create a new scan profile with 25% more brightness  
(PS: here in the example EPSON XP-305 one from my old test scanners) 

5.  Don't forget "save profile"

PS:
Use the new scan profile for your problem scanner. Fixing the gray cast problem on white paper is quite easy and is not so rare with older scanners!

3.) What should I consider when increasing the brightness when scanning?

Check on the device whether the foil has visible contamination, also clean the glass surface in the scanner and then make further copies before they change the sanctity. 

The brightness should only be increased so that the sheet becomes lighter, but the letters do not fade during scanning!
