Kodak 3520D scanner Front Scan Mod gain issue

Hello
You can check the following:
1. The second scan image interface cable
2. The second scan image
Which is usually the interface cable fault

"Front side gain Error". Try to clean glass/mirror and front CCD (locate on the scan rails in bottom)

Please check if the disk where you are saving has enough space. Defrag the drive for better results. If you are connecting the scanners trough an USB cable, try replacing them. Also check if the file format is same. If you have chosen to scan BMP or TIFF uncompressed or Color, the file size may be too big. I presume the other two PCs are free of virus.

Congratulations.

The scanner of your printer is defect :-(

You can't solve this issue.

Make sure that FIRMWARE is up todate and calibrate the scanner.

You may be set for front & back (duplex) scanning. Change the setting for front only or simplex. This could be done with check/uncheck boxes, a drop-down menu, or a keyboard shortcut. I believe the standard Kodak settings are via check boxes.
This model is also capable of putting out color & bitonal (black&white) images simultaniously. If that's the case the pages should be separate image files. Uncheck either color or bitonal depending on which you want.

Thank you for allowing me to assist you in this question. Below is some basic information on how to scan with this printer. The Kodak Home Center software will save the file into a directory into your computer and you can use your email program to attach that file into your emails.

To scan to a file
1 Set the Default scan destination to File with the Kodak Home Center software.
2 Place your original face down in the right front corner of the scanner glass.
3 Press Scan.
4 Press Start. The original is scanned and saved to a file on your computer according to the scan settings in the Kodak Home Center software.
To scan to an application
1 Set the Default scan destination to Application with the Kodak Home Center software.
2 Place your original face down in the right front corner of the scanner glass.
3 Press Scan.
4 Press Start. The original is scanned into Kodak Home Center where you can open it with the application of your choice.

Rear Ribbon cable has most likly failed or the video output socket from the CPU 110/100 PCB

Are you using the software from HP? It sucks. Use the one provided my your operating system works great. Go your Control Panel, Printer and other Hardwares and click Scanners, make a shortcut to your task or start menu and Scan Away!!!!

Hi,

Try downloading the latest Firmware for the Kodak i40 Scanner at the following Kodak.com page: http://graphics.kodak.com/docimaging/US/en/Products/Document_Scanners/Desktop/i40_Scanner/Support/Drivers_And_Downloads/i30_and_i40_Scanner_Firmware/index.htm

Follow the instructions carefully, and make sure that the scanner and the PC DO NOT turn off while doing the Firmware update. I recomend connecting both to a UPS with a known good battery while doing this upgrade.

This should install the latest features including the one that enables front feed.
