Scan quality

[send2mark]

This is a Laserjet Pro MFP M148DW and I am trying to scan an old photo from when I was a kid and the quality of the scan is terrible. It looks like the scanner is not capable of retrieving the full spectrum of colors. I picked the photo template and tried different resolutions. Scanning documents works great, it is just the photos that are not good. Is there a setting somewhere for better colors?

I also tried playing with the Saturation settings. Maybe this type of system is not good with pictures.
