Hello all.

Just bought an iBook, a Canon printer and an Epson 1260 scanner. Everything works fine, except the scanner. The scans a really horrible : it's blurred, color coming out of the edges and out of focus. A bit like the photography has been moved while scanned (which is not the case). I downloaded the most recent driver (5.75a)and use image capture (I'll get Graphic converter later). I tried cleaning the glass, changing resolutions, pluging the usb port directly in the iBook, etc. To be honest, I've had ONE good scan (at 1200 dpi!) out of a hundred. A miracle, maybe. (I tried to scan text too, with the same results).

Maybe it's a hardware defect? Have I done anything wrong? 10.2.4 is installed on the computer.

Regards.

Hmm, sounds wierd. I have the same scanner and I've never had that problem. Try tweaking the resolution. It may be scanning at an interpolated resolution--anything above 1200 dpi, which could cause that.

Or, it may be defective. Try exchanging it.
