b_covey Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I think this has been answered before but i cannot find it. My epson 2450 will not scan the whole 6x7 slide. Somehow it only scanns about 2/3 of the area. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p._neil_ralley Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I'm far from being an expert but I think that you may be encountering a memory problem. If so possible solutions would include allocating more memory to the application (if that is possible), closing other applications which may be running, clearing tmp files (perhaps a reboot), installing more RAM or scanning at a lower resolution.

ernie_fosse Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 One other possibility is that you are not dragging and stretching (or shrinking) the dotted line rectangle which represents the area to be scanned. This usually defaults to the shape it had from your previous scan. Ernie -- what's this white stuff falling out of the sky in Seattle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo_viroj_rvi Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Turn off all automatic functions in the twain driver so that you can choose manually the scanning area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl smith Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I'm going to go with Timos suggestion here. I never use the automatic scan selection on just about any scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_sweet Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I had the same problem with mine--just turn off the auto thumbnail thing and manually select the area to scan. The scanner is good but the software is inane. Should it really inform me to remove the reflective mat--EVERY time i want to scan some film!!!

squareframe Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Dan Sweet - you are doing something wrong. you should only get that message when you switch from flatbed to a mode using the external light source. I suspect you haven't set the mode to save and reuse the scan settings. you should be able to set your mode and never have that dialogue box appear.

mark_mitchell5 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Dan, I get the same dialog, doesn't matter the mode. Haven't checked for most recent drivers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squareframe Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 perhaps we should explore this. my new scanner came with Twain v5.51A, and I have been unable to force this warning message except for explicitly selecting flatbed and then one of the other modes. in that context it makes sense, but traversing through the CONFIGURATION/OTHER menu and selecting 'save preview settings' always brings the scanner up into a known and selected state.

andreas_carl Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Try the latest Epson TWAIN driver, it's 5.54 I used SilverFast SE for a while, but am switching back to the Epson TWAIN (can you believe it !!!???) The Epson gives me 48-bit color, SilverFast SE only 24 bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
