All of a sudden I see little specks in the scanner box. What's causing that? They show up on the image.

Im a Graphic artist,, I try this but was not happy with the quality of scans, so i sent it back. This is fast and for a home us it ok. Try blowing off sided before,

I can only imagine that your slides may have dust on them. If not perfectly clean you will see specks.

Sorry I can't help you. That never happened to me. My brother used it after I converted all my old slides to images to also convert his slides and had no problems. Between us we had thousands of slides! Maybe it is defective? Maybe you can return it for another one. I had to return my first one and they were excellent about it. Hope you can do it! I loved using mine because it was so simple! Hope this helps a bit.

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.

When it appens to me there's usually a smudge ion the disk, cleaning fixes it. Probably not much help.

I posted a front box scan with the correct image. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51iuxR8AZbL.jpg

Hi there. This scanner saves in the following formats: BMP, JPEG, JPEG2000, Multi-page TIFF, PDF, PNG, Single-Page TIFF, and XPS. Enjoy!

I have this scanner and the same thing happens. It appears to be normal to me as the scanner is working fine.

Yes, but all of these portable scanners I've tried suffer from white lines in the scan.

Have you looked at the User's manual. It's on the CD and there should be an icon on your screen. You probably have inadvertently changed one of your scan options.

What you are seeing is actually a closed captioning stream that shows in Just Scan...most pictures will simply raise the viewable image about 1/8" and you will never see it. Just Scan does not...So the set is fine - it is your signal that is doing it.

There is nothing wrong with the scanner. It is your printer. Set it at a better resolution. Or try wipe the front of cartiage clean.

There is something wrong. Send it back. Mine did the exact same thing, plus it had a dent on the underneath plate where the numbers are printed.

Patricia, thanks for the tutorial. I bookmarked it in case I need help when the scanner arrives. I have PSP also, so I expect things to go smoothly. I'm really looking forward to preserving and sharing my family's old photos, many 50 years and older!

I can only tell you that I laid several photos on the scanner expecting to rescan for each photo I needed. However, when I hit preview, each photo appeared as a separate smaller window.

I have had two scanners, both Mac the s510M and the newer S1500M. I called tech and described a line that had appeared on my scans. The tech said just clean wire and roller with cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol -- I did and it worked great!

If it is still scanning correctly, you should not have to re-install anything. You may have to check your settings if the original is light. Try setting to grey scale or darker setting.

Hi Chad Kessler, You posted this a LONG time ago -- about 14 months ago -- and didn't get any replies. Maybe you're still monitoring it, or maybe you found an answer elsewhere. Anyhow, I thought I'd toss in a tip anyhow. No, I don't know what the problem is, or exactly how to fix it. But elsewhere on these discussion boards (leastways, a year ago) was a fellow named Wayne. I THNK it was Wayne Fulton. I remember he was a fount of knowledge about scanning, always quite generous. Now, just this week, I came across a website set up by Wayne Fulton (I believe the same guy): scantips with the www and the dot-com as appropriate. He's literally written an entire book about scanning there (a 101 basic book AND a 201 intermediate book). It's actually a bit more than mere basic stuff. He's been a lifesaver to me. He even provides his email address and might be willing and able to answer a question directly, although I think you'd want to check through his writings first to see if he offers any insights. Maybe this is a year late, and the problem was long ago solved. But if not, check out Wayne's website.

This won't help you but you are not alone in experiencing these problems. Frequently my slide scans come out as negatives and several times Slides have been cropped although positioned correctly. In the latter case I've redone one slide over and over again in different positions in the holder, upside down as well, but still the Canoscan crops it. I hope someone out there can help both of us !
