Solutions

----- Case1 -----

Confirm the original image data you want to scan.
Use the proper illustrations for scanning.

 
 

----- Case2 -----

If a color that appears as a single color is detected as separate colors, reduce the number of colors. If adjacent colors with a similar brightness are detected as a single color, increase the number of colors.

If the image cannot be still scanned to the cutting line data you desire, try to scan in color recognition mode.
