Please could anyone tell me if i can photostat a document using my scanner. I have tried, and when it comes down to printing, the printout is all in a pinkish colour, other than that it's perfect. The trouble is the colour of the copy doesn't look original.
All the ink levels are ok and i have used the printers trouble shooter
and everything seems ok. I am now thinking it may not be possible to get a copy of a document using this proceedure, but i'm not sure. Please can anyone help with this.

When you start the scan check your settings. it depends on the scanner exactly what it will show but there should be options to scan colour document B/W document Photo etc. Select B/W document and this should solve your problem. Good Luck

I am not very good at this sort of thing but may I suggest that you put a blank sheet of paper behind the document that you are scanning and see if that helps.

This could be a problem with either the scanner or printer, you may need to calibrate both of them. Its called a 'colour cast'.

One of these sites may help, plus refer to the manufacturers website.

Perhaps your printer is using color ink to create black. Set the print preferences to use black ink only to get true black.
