Having problems with my Scanner...

[Nuke]

Am having some trouble scanning some documents. For some reason some documents I scan in come out a little bit crooked while others scan perfect. I have no idea why this is.....is something like this common with scanners? And no the actual documents are not crooked

Am using a Cannon N650U. Are these know to have problems? Any info from the scanmasters would be appreciated

If you scan and rescan the same thing without moving the item, is it consistently crooked?

Yes. Although sometimes after a rescan it seems to be either a little less or a little more crooked. Could be imagining things though.

Dont know much about your model, mine runs on a scsi card.USB ports are slower than scsi, sometimes changing USB ports can help. Try using the first USB port and check Bios for USB support.

I had used a cable longer than 5 feet and that can cause problems, see <A HREF="http://consumer.usa.canon.com/scanners/csn650u/index.html" target="_new">Cannon web site</A> under specifications.

Look for udated <A HREF="http://209.85.7.18/techsupport.php?q=download&p=csn650u" target="_new"> Cannon Drivers </A> .
If that doesnt work try re-installing the software as a last resort before calling for help at Cannon.

Also the documents etc to be scanned have to be perfectly flat on the screen as a turned up edge like in the centre of a book can be distorted as its further away from the surface..


Good luck...




Crank it up... way up!! I need that power.
