Maintaining and Transporting Your Scanner
This chapter gives tips on caring for your scanner and preparing it for a move in these sections: Cleaning the Scanner Replacing the Fluorescent Lamp Transporting the Scanner

Page 69

Cleaning the Scanner
Caution: Never open the scanner case.
To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it periodically. Before cleaning it, unplug the scanners power cable. Then clean the outside with mild detergent diluted in water. If the glass of the document table gets dirty, clean it with a soft dry, lint-free cloth. If grease or other hard-to-remove material gets on the glass, remove it with a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft lint-free cloth. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry lint-free cloth. Do not: Scratch or damage the document table glass Use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it Use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvents Spill liquids into the scanner mechanism or electronic components Spray lubricants inside the scanner

Page 70

Replacing the Fluorescent Lamp
Caution: Never open the case of the scanner. If you think repairs or adjustments are necessary, consult your Epson Customer Care Center.
The luminosity of the fluorescent lamp declines over time. If the lamp breaks or becomes too dim to operate normally, the scanner stops working and both the READY and ERROR lights flash. If this happens, the lamp assembly may need to be replaced. For details, contact your local Epson Customer Care Center (see Where to Get Help for details).

Page 71

Transporting the Scanner
Note: If the scanner is inoperable, the carriage may not automatically return to the home position. If it doesnt, raise the right side of the scanner and hold it up until the carriage comes to rest at the left side. Then turn the transportation lock screw to the locked position.
If you need to transport the scanner or store it for an extended period, you must secure the carriage beforehand. Turn on the scanner and wait until the carriage moves to the home position (the left side). Then turn off the scanner. Turn the transportation lock screw to the locked position to secure the carriage.

Diagnosing Problems
This chapter helps you solve scanner problems in these sections:
Upgrading Your System Problems and Solutions Using the Document Guide

Diagnosing Problems

Some problems you may have can involve your software or computer, such as: Incorrect setup of the parallel or SCSI interface Inappropriate selection of the scanner functions Incorrect setup of your computer or software

Page 73

Incorrect operation of your scanner software
If an error occurs, check the scanners indicator lights. See Indicator Lights to determine what kind of error it is, and try the suggested solutions. If that doesnt solve the problem, see Problems and Solutions. See the documentation that came with your software, computer, and printer for other possible solutions.

Page 74

Indicator Lights
If an error occurs, the scanner stops operating. The READY and ERROR lights indicate the type of error.
ERROR light On READY light On Error type Solution

Check that the transportation lock screw is released, check any installed options, then push the RESET button. If the scanner still does not operate properly, turn the scanner off and on. If the problem persists or it occurs repeatedly, consult your dealer. Off Off Option error Theres a problem with an installed option. Check the option and remove any jammed paper, if necessary. Page 75

Upgrading Your System

To improve your image processing speed and the appearance of the images on your monitor, you can add the following items to your system: Additional memory. Scanned images use much more memory than text files, so you may need more RAM in your computer and a larger hard disk. Accelerator board. You may want to increase your systems processing speed; large files take longer to process than small ones. Video card. If your scanned images look grainy or have poor gradient fills on your monitor, you may want to upgrade your video card. Youll need 24-bit color (also called true color or millions of colors) or better for the highest quality image reproductions. High resolution monitor. The resolution of your monitor also affects the quality of the image you see. Consider a high resolution monitor if you do precise color work, but be sure you have a compatible video card.

Page 76

Compression software. Many different programs are available to make image files smaller for storage or transmission. For example, they can enable you to store a 3MB image file on a 1.44MB floppy disk. Compression software can compress images and restore them with virtually no loss of data or quality.

Page 77

Problems and Solutions
Check these sections for the problem youre having and for possible solutions: Operation Problems Scan Quality Problems Image Matching Problems

Operation Problems

The OPERATE light does not come on.
Problem The scanner is not getting power. Solution Make sure the power cable is correctly plugged into the scanner and the power outlet. Make sure the outlet is operational and is not connected to a timer or switch.
The READY light does not come on.
Problem The scanner is not communicating with your computer. Troubleshooting Solution Make sure the scanner is securely connected to the correct computer interface and that the computer is turned on.

Page 78

The scanner does not start scanning.
Problem Your software or interface is not operating properly. Solution Make sure youve selected the correct interface port and settings when you installed your scanner and interface software. Also make sure the interface board on your computer is installed properly. If youre using the SCSI interface, confirm that the terminator and SCSI ID are set correctly. See the Setup Guide for instructions. If you have other expansion boards in your computer, make sure that theyre not interfering with the interrupt setting of the interface board for your scanner. (See your computer manual for details.)
The scanner software does not work properly.
Problem Your system doesnt meet your software requirements or the software is set up incorrectly. Solution Make sure you have correctly installed your software. Make sure your computer system meets all the requirements specified for your software. Make sure your software supports this model of scanner. Make sure the computer has enough memory for your software. If youre running other software at the same time, using RAM resident programs, or have many device drivers, the computer may not have enough memory left. (See your software and computer manuals for details.)

Page 79

Scan Quality Problems
The entire image is distorted or blurred.
Problem The document is not placed correctly. Solution Make sure the document is placed flat on the document table. You may have accidentally moved the document during scanning. Check the position of the document and dont move it while the scanner is operating. Be sure the scanner is not tilted or placed on an unstable surface.
Part of the image is distorted or blurred.
Problem Part of the document may be wrinkled, warped, or not in contact with the document table. There may be IRQ (interrupt request) conflicts within your system. Solution Be sure the document is uniformly flat and smooth.
Check your operating system manual and online help files for instructions on how to resolve IRQ conflicts.

Page 80

The edges of the document are missing from the scanned output.
Problem The document is positioned incorrectly. Solution The document table has non-readable areas around the edges. Reposition your document so that the image you want to scan is within the readable area.
Color is patchy or distorted at the edges of the image.
Problem The document may be letting in external light. Solution If the document is very thick or warped at the edges, the edges of the image may be discolored. Cover the edges of the document with opaque paper to block outside light. If part of the document extends beyond the document table, that edge may not be in contact with the document table. Change the position of the document.

The image is faint or out of focus.
Problem The document is not placed correctly. Your software settings may be incorrect. Solution Check that the document is placed flush against the document table. Adjust the brightness option in your software to a darker setting.

Page 81

The image is too dark.
Problem Your software settings may be incorrect. Solution Adjust the brightness setting in your software. Also check the brightness and contrast settings of your monitor.
Straight lines in the image are jagged.
Problem The document may be placed at an angle on the document table. Your document isnt aligned to compensate for carriage movement. Solution Align it so that the horizontal and vertical lines are carefully aligned with the scales on the top and side of the document table. The scanners normal carriage movement may result in scans which arent perfectly aligned with the document table scales. Use the document guide to adjust your document alignment as described in Using the Document Guide.
A line of dots is always missing in the scanned image.
Problem Your printer may be causing the problem. Your scanner may be causing the problem. Solution If this happens in your printed image only, it may be caused by your printer. (See your printer manual for instructions on solving the problem.) If this happens on both your screen and printout, the scanners sensor may be malfunctioning. Consult your dealer.

Page 82

The image cannot be printed, the printout is garbled, or the printout is not an image.
Problem Your printer may be causing the problem. Your printer software may be causing the problem. Solution Check that the printer is properly connected with the computer and is correctly set up. (See your printer manual for instructions.) Check that your printer software is properly installed and configured. (See your software manual for details.)
Color stripes appear when scanning film.
Problem Your scan is being distorted by an effect known as Newtons Ring. Solution Try scanning the film upside down. Newtons Ring is an optical phenomenon that occurs when two very thin membranes such as film surfaces or soap bubble surfaces meet.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the bottom scale. Write down the position of the original frame edge on the bottom scale.
Use the procedure in Calculating the Adjustment Angle to calculate the proper adjustment angle. Example: Top scale reading = 4.0 Bottom scale reading = 3.6

Page 94

Calculating the Adjustment Angle
If you need to adjust the document guide angle, you first need to determine which way to adjust it and by how much. To determine the amount you need to adjust the pin to align your document, subtract the bottom scale value from the top scale value and divide the result by 4. In our example, calculate (4.0 3.6) 4 = 0.1. Therefore, you must set the adjust pin angle to 0.1.
