Distorted Start of Scan 

 

Colourmatch 

6.  A  distorted  image  at the  beginning  of  a  scan, 

or at the point where the scanner has stopped 
and  started  during  a  scan,  is  down  to  the 
Motor  Drive  Pulley  being  loose  on  the  motor, 
or the main timing belt being loose. 

See service manual procedures.

 

7.  Colour  differences  between  2  CIS  can  be 

down  to  the  scanner  needing  normalisation, 
or  the  glass  or  paper  hold  down  roller  not 
seating  properly  over  the  CIS,  make  sure 
there  is  correct  and  even  gap  between  the 
paper  hold  down  rollers  and  glass.  Some 
times  the  colour  imbalance  can  be  down  to 
the  tolerance  between  2  CIS,  which  is 
common in all CIS scanners. 

 

8.  Some times image problems, particually if the image looks currupt and completely unrecognisable, 

can be solved by resetting the scanner. Use the "Reset Flash to Factory" in the passworded area 
of the utilities program to do this, making sure you record the motor speed and stitch values before 
running this process, and re-insert them again afterwards. Normalisation completes the process.
