Hi Here's the story... I acquired a used Nikon Coolscan III (LS-30) but the results weren't so great. The initial images are very soft in a way that would indicate possible dust on the inside mirror. So, knowing that to get this serviced would cost a fortune I had a look around and found a...

Hi, I'm kind of in a jam, stores are closed and i need to scan something. I'm looking for someone who can print a 2 page document and scan it, and email me the image. I need this as soon as possible. If you can help me I will repay somehow. Thanks

G'day Trendsetters, I have an Epson Perfection 1670 and I use it for scanning Postage Stamps I am pleased with it in general, as I can scan 30 stamps in one operation, however the images are naturally never perfectly positioned. I notice with my OCR, the scan will "auto rotate" the image prior to...

Hello everybody I apoligise for any possible mistakes in this message. I own a Nikon LS-2000 scanner. When I purchased it, the firmware version was 1.2, and the quality of the scanned images was absolutely stunning. Since the new 1.3 firmware was available on Nikon's website, I decided to upgrade...

If I scan my slides that are plastic mount, there's no problem. But if the slides are cardboard mounted, the image comes out mostly red. The blue channel is almost totally black. Using a Visioneer 9020 USB. Any idea? Why are the plastic mounts OK, but the cardboard ones aren't?

I can't find this info anywhere on the Nikon web site. If I scan an image full-on highest res, 16-bit color depth and save to a lossless format (TIFF?) how big will that file size be? If I scan a B&W neg, will the file size be 1/3 of the color file size? --thatcher-- Thank you.

I have diabetic neuropathy in my optic nerves, which is sugar crystals in there and that messes-up eyesight. But glasses do work fine to correct my vision. I seem to notice that my images (35 slides) look sharp under a loupe, then I scan them and they come up fuzzy! My older 6x7 positives are...

Hi all, recently during my scanning project I've come accross some old family slides in the ectochrome format, they are larger than the 35mm type and they are square rather than rectangular. They are also RED, meaning everything is in the hue of red. When I scan these (using vuescan) and run them...

I've been pondering the thought of finally scanning all my documents - bills-donations-etc and then shredding the originals. My plan is to scan into a PDF file with a filename (electric_dec03.pdf) and then burning a CD at the end of the year. That way I have IRS document (got audited this year -...

Hi, all Here is exactly the opposite question: I have a bunch of old 110-fomat negatives. Any ideas of how to scan them? Has anyone heard of some adapter ot something to hold them? I have a Nikkon Coolscan V, great for 35 mm. Thanks for any input.

I just missed out on a chance to buy a great large fornat scanner on eBay so now I'm back to square one...What to do? I have a Mustek 1200 Flatbed Scanner which, I'm told should give me good scans. But as for a negative adapter setup I wonder if a light panel will give me a adequete light source?...

I have an Epson 1660 Perfection Scanner running Twain via USB 2.0. The scanner may be "Perfection", but the software certainly isn't! While I have a "one button" copy feature on the scanner, the software won't allow for customizing the "default" copy settings. (Color/BW, Darkness, Pic/Text, etc..)...

I've just bought an Epson 2480 scanner. Scanner itself seems fine, but as usual, the bundled manufacturer written software isn't very good. The main points of contention so far a 1) you can adjust the levels of the image after a preview but it won't show you what the resulting effect will be on...

For years I have been faxing stuff to myself from a conventional fax machine to my computer. The faxes are received and saved as multi-page TIFF files that are of decent quality and only take 30-40 kb per page. I especially like doing it this way because I can shove several pages into the machine...

I need an A4/Letter size flatbed scanner which is very fast in scanning in grayscale at 300 dpi. I would find it great to scan an A4 page (grayscale 300 dpi) in, say, less than 5 seconds. I'm not interested in color scanning, and I'd like not to spend too much money. Can somebody suggest me some...

After downloading Windows XP updates, none of my programs cannot communicate with my scanner (canon8400f). Have reinstalled canon software and checked the Control Panel/Scanner and Cameras/ to find the scanner is installed. The test shows scanner is working properly. When trying to use Arcsoft...

Hi all, I would like to know what mainly determines the speed of scanner. Is the speed normally depend on scanner ? Is the speed of the computer also a determining factor ? Normally how long can one page of document be scanned ? Thanks in advance. W.M. Chung

Well, this thread is addressing my interests and situation, too. First I want to jump in on the evils of printers. My opinion is that all printers are the spawn of Satan, and their only real purpose in life is to mangle as much paper as they can get into their little trays. The last good printer...

Hi all, I'm considering forking out the 600-odd GBP for a FS4000US, was wondering if there are any (strong) reasons on not to buy it. I'm mostly concerned about it being "overtaken" by a newer version... after all, i think it has been around for a couple of years now. Any thoughts? Thanks Dimitris
