Hi I'm having a similar problem and haven't managed to fix it. Have you solved it? Thanks Martin

Open Dell All-in-one center, keep the picture on the Scanner bed and click on scan and choose a location to save the picture once the scan is completed and the preview is visible. Alternatively, a simpler way to do this is to Open MSPaint, click on File and click on Import from Camera or Scanner. Choose the kind of picture you want to scan and confirm scan. Try experimenting with options to experience scanning effects and image quality.

Good Luck!

Most scanners aren't designed to scan negatives. (Of course the manufactures would never want to tell you their product CANT do something).

Flatbed scanners typically have a light on one side.

To scan negatives properly, you need to have a scanner that has a backlight, or a second light in the bed's lid that you fold down.

Canon USA, Inc. make a few flatbed scanners that have backlights. They range from $60 to $180, depending on the features and resolution you want to pay for.

Please see the below link. This is a more expensive one, but is shown just so you get the idea. In the pictures, note specifically in the picture that shows the lid open, how the white backing on the lid can be removed from a clip at the top. Underneath, is the backlight and clips designed to hold negatives in with the included frames.

The preview, if it is thumbnail picture, it is difficult ti decipher. Dont worry about that. Pencil drawings are very light and needs higher contrast. Try a few options and you can select the best one. If you scan a pencil drawing in grey, it may appear light and also file size will be bigger.

Have you confirmed that the scan you are trying to print is good?

Assuming you're using the Epson Scan software, select Home or Professional mode and click Preview. When the preview image appears, draw a marquee around each of the three photos. (Note that as you draw each marquee the number beneath the little image of a marquee - the white square with the dotted line around it - increases.) After drawing your marquees, click the All button, then click Scan. The scanner should make three separate passes in succession, producing three separate images.

Nothing is wrong if your scan turns out good

I would not think Norton is the problem but one can never be sure - Uninstall Norton to prove one way or the other Then come back
