Epson Perfection V100 Flatbed Scanner - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Hi
Scanner and Mac no
Try re-installing the drivers, or check that the scanner is connected to correct port on the PC
Scanner glass clean
Cleaning the glass is rather simple. Take the 2 screws under the cover out. Now gently lift the top part of the scanner (some force may be needed). Then the scanner is in 2 parts and the glass can be cleaned inside and outside with a wet wipe glass cleaning pad. Dry the glass with a towel and inspect the glass with a lamp, that no cleanser remains are left. Now install the scanner in reverse order.
No cables
These use a standard USB 2 cable, as such should be available from any good PC shop. Take the unit in with you and that way you can be sure it fits.
Epson Artisan 800 Scanner leaves blue/grey stripe on side.
I had this exact same issue with two Artisan 800's. I was told it was a hardware issue. Both were returned under warranty to Epson. Have since had problems with ADF and that printer was returned. Warranty has now ended. Expecting to buy a new printer shortly: they last about 4 months before having problems. It won't be an Epson even though that's all I've owned for 10 years

There's a shop in the UK or Sweden called Clas Olsen that sell a range of multi headed adapters, you have a pack that has the usual ones you see and they have a pack for other adapter heads and one of them fits the V100. How do i know? Cos I bought one for my scanner but it will set you back by £25.

Try just using the epson scan utility
1. Launch Epson Scan by going into your HARD DRIVE, APPLICATIONS, and EPSON SCAN.
2. If prompted, select your scanner from the list of models and click OK.
3. In the FILE SAVE SETTINGS window, you can designate the location, name and type of file the scans will be saved as.
-LOCATION defaults to HD/USERS/(YOUR USER NAME)/PICTURES. Click CHOOSE if you wish to change this.
-PREFIX determines how the scan will be named. Type any name you like. You can also designate a start number.
-FILE TYPE dictates what format the scans will be saved in. ie. .JPG, .TIFF, .PDF, or .PICT)
-For example: if the prefix is "img", the start number is "1", and the format is "JPG", the name of the file saved in
PICTURES will be "IMG001.JPG"

Click SCAN after you have selected your settings. Click CLOSE once the EPSON SCAN is finished scanning.

Scanning photos
i just had my CCD replaced before my warranty expired in Feb and it worked fine for a week. Now i'm getting a cyan line down all my negative scans. And since you can only scan negatives in one spot, I can't even use a diff part of the scanning surface to avoid this. Sounds like a downright cheap part and definitely can't do the job. Never buying an Epson again, esp since they closed down the repair center nearby.

Check the calibration strip to make sure it isn't soiled. This can cause streaking in your scans. Also check the glass where the paper is. Make sure it is clean as well.
