on the Advanced Mode tab of ScanGear (scanner driver).

Note
If a print out of an image does not appear satisfactory or the same as what you see on the monitor,
you may need to change the printer's settings. Or, there may be a problem with the printer.
For details, refer to the manual of your printer.
Check 4: If circular stripe patterns (Newton's rings) appear, load the film
face-down and click Preview, then click
(Mirror) on the Toolbar of
ScanGear (scanner driver) to invert the image, then click Scan.
Check 5: The film may be extremely dark or bright, or the spaces between
frames are extremely narrow (2 mm is standard).
Scan again using ScanGear (scanner driver) if the Scanner Buttons or MP Navigator EX yielded less than
satisfactory colors.
Check 6: Adjust the brightness, contrast, tone curve, etc. on the Advanced
Mode tab if the colors of the ScanGear's preview scan was unsatisfactory.
Check 7: Adjust the saturation and color balance on the Advanced Mode
tab of ScanGear (scanner driver) if the scanned image appears reddish or
bluish.
