System is not responding

Color image quality

If the scanner and/or host computer are not responding, perform the following steps.

1.Power down the computer.

2.Power down the scanner.

3.Disconnect the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) cable from the IEEE-1394 port on the back of the scanner.

4.Power up the computer.

5.Power up the scanner.

After you power up the scanner, the red and green indicator lights will illuminate. After approximately one minute, both lights go out. When the green indicator light comes back on, the scanner is ready to begin scanning. However, the host computer may require a few more seconds to detect the scanner.

6.Wait until the scanner light is green and no longer in the power-up mode.

7.Attach the IEEE-1394 (FireWire) cable to the IEEE-1394 port on the back of the scanner.

8.Wait a few moments for the host computer’s operating system to recognize the scanner.

The scanner is now ready to use.

Color image quality is highly subjective. Here are some things to consider when scanning in color:

The difference in the color outputs of scanners, printers, and monitors can affect the perception of the scanned document.

Computer displays and printer output can vary from model to model, and from manufacturer to manufacturer. An image may be acceptable on one display and unacceptable on another.

Area lighting (fluorescent, natural, incandescent) can affect color perception.

The appearance of a colored area within an image can be perceived differently, based on what surrounds it.

The characteristics and condition of a document can have an impact on color consistency.

Color requirements may differ between environments (e.g., in a business document environment, images are generally viewed on a monitor, whereas in a “print on demand” environment, scanned images are printed).

To ensure that your scanner is delivering the best image:

Clean the scanner. Contamination within the scanner degrades image quality. (Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning information.)

Calibrate the scanner occasionally and make sure that the calibration target is clean and unwrinkled.
