I use The Epson Expression

Horizontal lines are an event in time. Rainbow colored lines might be due to a flickering lamp. Or the scanner has an internal high frequency power supply for the lamp, and it might cause such a problem. A faulty or incorrect or insufficient power cube may be the problem. Is the problem everywhere, or random locations, or always in one place in the carriage travel? It could be irregular movement of the carriage due to loose belts or sticky guide rods or other mechanical interference can cause "glitches". You might notice the lamp flickering, or watching the carriage carefully while it moves might show some type of binding. Horizontal lines due to lamp problems are random, showing at whatever location of the carriage at that point in time, but a sticky carriage would probably always be seen at the same location. Effects of an insufficient power cube is probably seen all over the image.
In any event, lines are not caused by your scanning procedure and you need to get this scanner serviced. No amount of 'troubleshooting' will fix this issue I am afraid :(

Epson Expression 1640XL. How can I clean the

There are two hidden screws toward the front of the scanner. So here (after removing the two screws) is the location of the top four screws to remove the scanner cover, there are two additional ones on the back plane of the scanner that are very obvious.
The two round plastic covers conceal the last two screws very well. After that the cover will lift right off, and there's about 10 more screws holding the glass tray down to the main chassis. The glass will then lift right off on it's tray, allowing access to clean the glass and sensor.

(I wish i could show you with photos, but I don't have this scanner with me anymore and I don't have any photo, who would think, this would be a problem for someone :-))

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Funky look to images

Hi folks. I am the originator and have the solution to the problem. I feel a little stupid because I overlooked using a plastic insert/guide which is placed on the scanner, fitting on notches. It lets the scanner know to use the transparency device and provides a notch for film holder placement. It has been so long time since I used film ever since digital photography took over, I overlooked using this plastic insert. With it placed, I can scan film fine. Thanks

Epson 3170 Photo scanner will not work

I don't know specifically what the solution is, but I just downloaded the user manual which has been missing and info from it might help. You might have the manual already, but here is a link to the manual (eighth item down), then go to page 62 and there are a lot of things to look at and consider. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Doc&oid=14585

Scanner not responding to preview scan

Try this as a last ditch effort. Remove the software. Reboot the computer and come off line. Disable the Anti Virus program. Now install the soft ware. Then try. If the red light still flashes then assume it is new scanner time.

EPSON 15140 error 034019

Try a hard reset of the printer. Oddly, the 034019 is not an error code, I have reason to think. It is a contact number, I believe.

I have Epson printer workforce pro c5790 shows error 000101, what is the solution for it ?

The error code 000101 on an Epson Workforce Pro C5790 printer typically indicates a problem with the print head. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
  1. Perform a print head cleaning: From the printer's control panel, navigate to the Maintenance menu and select the option to perform a print head cleaning. This will help to clear any clogged nozzles or debris that may be causing the error.
  2. Perform a print head alignment: From the printer's control panel, navigate to the Maintenance menu and select the option to perform a print head alignment. This will help to ensure that the print head is properly aligned and is able to print correctly.
  3. Check for any physical obstructions or debris in the print head area, if you find any, remove it carefully.
  4. If the error persists after trying the above steps, you may need to replace the print head.
  5. If none of the above steps work, it is possible that the printer has a more serious problem that requires professional service.
I recommend you to check the user manual or contact Epson technical support for further assistance and specific troubleshooting steps for your printer.
