Question about Canon CanoScan 9950F Flatbed Scanner

1 Answer

Scanned image has a line running through it

I have scanned flat artwork and photos on my CanoScan for almost a year and a half and have always gotten great results. Just today, my scanned image had a verticle green line running through it. I scanned another image and again a green line was running though the scan in the same location. The line looks like it is one pixel in width. I'm hoping you have a solution to this problem. Thank you.

This could be one faulty sensor pixel or a speck of dirt on the scanner bar. It might be worth opening the scanner and carefully dusting the bar with a camera cleaner aerosol.

Hello
Actually you do have to select a program for working with photographs such as Photoshop, or Adobe Elements, maybe Microsoft Paint or Picasa maybe. Then your scanner will scan and the pictures will be saved and they'll be opened in the photo program you have chosen afterwards.

My CanoScan 3000ex worked great for years, now when I try to scan something the image comes up in red, yellow and white! What could be wrong? No trouble with it until now.
The infared lamp is getting very weak and needs to be replaced. It will be far cheaper to replace the scanner instead

Getting true color on slide scans
Make sure you have the emulsion (image) side of the slide towards the scanner sensor. Some scanners have a special setting for film still in slide holders to correct for focus. You may need a photo edit program to help with color and density. I find no difference from 35mm to split 5x7s altho bigger is always better.

Scanning for video
After the first scan through select the zoom in functionality to just scan the area you want to zoom in. That way the scanned image will be much bigger and better quality.

Which program do i use to transfer the scanned image too?
Hi,

Sounds like the CanoScan is looking for a photo enhancing/utility program. Programs for this purpose are Adobe PhotoShop, PaintShop Pro, ACDSee, or even the simple Windows Paint.

Additionally, the CanoScan Toolbox might have a basic photo utility program. Normally basic photo utility programs like this are included in the CD installer of a scanner, a digicam or even most color printers.

Hope this be of some idea/help. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Scanner sits idle after power up, nothing else happens.... Got a 9950F thru Ebay. Turned it on, made a loud "clicking noise" and it looked like the gears etc were trying to move but could or would not. That clicking went away after 3-4 power-ups, but now when I power it on it just sits there, with the scanner bar/scan light in the "on" mode. Nothing else. Should it self-test or go through a "calibration test" of some sort when I turn it on? Is it dead and my luck ran out winning it at auction? :(

Lamp turns off during warm up cycle! Scanner works fine in normal mode but when in transparency mode the lamp turns of after about 7% through tha warm up cycle and then stops. I have reinstalled everything and even changed my computer but it is still the same. It worked previously and this problem just appeared out of thin air one day. Any fix out there?
