Troubleshooting / 
Problem solving 

Use the information below as a guide to check possible solutions to 
problems you may encounter when using the Brightness and Contrast 
Control.

Brightness and Contrast Control will not run

• Check to be sure you have Administrative privileges. If you do, be 

sure the Brightness and Contrast Control was installed using an 
Admin account. If not, contact your System Administrator.

Cannot scan

• Exit the Brightness and Contrast Control software and run the Kodak 

Scan Validation Tool to verify that the scanner is in good working 
condition. If the scanner is working correctly and you still cannot scan 
using the Brightness and Contrast Control, verify that the path that 
you are trying to save the image to is correct.

No drivers are displayed in the Select

 

Source dialog box

• Be sure the Scan Validation Tool is installed.

Unable to download a custom color table

• Be sure the scanner is turned on and ready to use (no error condition 

exists). 

• Be sure the table you are attempting to download is compatible with 

your scanner. 

• Run the Scan Validation Tool to be sure that the scanner is in good 

working condition. 

Cannot save a custom color table

• Check the destination path for saved files.

Poor color image quality from the scanner 

• Download and use a Kodak default color table. If the problem 

persists, be sure the scanner is in good working condition. You may 
need to clean the scanner, calibrate it, run the Scan Validation Tool, 
etc. 

If the color image quality improved with the use of a Kodak default 
color table or by cleaning the scanner, etc. do not use the originally 
selected custom color table without adjusting it to meet your color 
quality needs.
