Scanning When I scan a picture, it is not coming in clearly, it has lots of lines going through the picture. What is going on here? Anyway I can fix it?

I know, I could go on the Internet, find your manual, read it, and learn if this machine has an Automatic Document Feeder. But I am not going to do that. It is a lot more than scanning three pages.
Anyway, IF the machine has an ADF, sort your pages, insert the stack with the TOP of the documents first. The recto of a page must be facing UP The ADF will sense that some action is coming. Press the Scan button on the machine. The connection to the computer must have been established before pressing SCAN. Also, the computer must have some software to open the scanned document.
You can also use the scanning software installed on your computer.

Hi,
When the paper is fed through Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) it is scanned before copy or fax. The scanner is fixed type and is located just below the ADF.
The lines are due to dirty scanner mirror. The printer/ scanner design is based Sheet-Fed Scanner. Open/Lift the Control Panel (scanner top )(by pulling it up from front - the area from where the paper to scan comes out). Look out for the horizontal mirror and use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to gently clean the scanner mirror, rollers etc. and enjoy clear scanning and copying! For example see the below picture: -

Inspect for any tron pieces of paper dirt etc.DONT USE PAPER, CHEMICALS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTH as it may damage the parts.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

hi,
ur tv has problem with vertical scanning section. may be dry soldering or vertical output ic faulty.
u can easily find out the vertical section on ur tv. for that u have to open ur tv. u can see a coil is fitted on the picture tube neck. there are four lines coming from the neck, of which two will go to horizontal scanning section and the remaining two will go to vertical section. follow the two thin wire normally in color green and yellow. it will go to a socket in the main board. trace the track from that socket in the main board . it will lead u to the vertical scanning section. check for any dry soldering in that section. mainly the soldering of vertical ic. if see or not re-solder the leads of the vertical ic . then check is the tv is ok or not. if complaint remains replace the vertical scanning out pout ic. it will be fitted on a aluminum heat sink in the vertical section. if u need more assistance feel free to contact through fixya.

regards
Ajin

hi,
if u can understand English do the following

ur tv has problem with its vertical scanning side. vertical scanning output ic (integrated circuit ) may have some problem ( faulty or dry soldering in its leads). u can easily find out the vertical ic on ur tv. there will be four wire coming from the coil which is fitted on the picture tube neck, of which 2 will goto horizontal scanning section and the remaining two will go to vertical scanning section. just follow the two thin wire (normally in color green and yellow ). it will goto a socket on the main board. follow the track on the board. it will lead u to vertical scanning section. check for any dry soldering, if not , replace the ic.
ok

Hp scanner 2300c
while scanning a blue or red line appears on scanned imajes

This could be due to excessive usage which the scanner can not tolerate and as a result the movement of the scanning mechanism losses precision. So avoid continous scanning.

Cops is correct if you lift up ANY all in one machines, you will notice that there is a 1inch glass and then there is the main glass. When printing, scanning or faxing from the FEEDER it makes the copies from that 1inch glass,  if there is a DOT on that part of the glass it comes out as a line. Why? because the paper is moving that dot then becomes a streak on the paper. To test if it is a dot try doing it from the main glass, there should be no lines ( the paper is not moving!!!!).

 

sometimes it is very hard to see anything on the 1inch glass, but it's there, the background is black and it may be a black ink or pencil dot. To try and localize it, take the copy with the line and align it with the 1inch glass, look carefully and clean with alcool.

We have also seen that Adobe Acrobat doesn't produce very clear scans (with a range of scanners). Adobe gives very good pdf file size but it downsamples images.
