I was working with my V700 Photo today, calibrating the height of my Betterscanning mounting station. I was using Silverfast 8.8 to make the scans. Everything started out fine and each iteration showed increasing sharpness. I made six scans, starting at 0 and moving up by .2mm each time. So good so far. :-)
When I tried to make the preview for my seventh scan, the result was not a negative scan. It was just a jumble of black and colors.
I tried multiple times with Silverfast, but got the same result each time. I switched to Epson Scan and tried Full Auto Mode, but the program just closed - no scan. I tried to make a scan in professional mode, but no go - the scan was in progress forever.
When trying to make the scans, you can see that the transparency light is on and that it is moving.
I reopened Epson Scan, and switched to reflective mode. After replacing the cover that goes on the lid (that covers the transparency light and provides a cushion that pushes down on the document being scanned), I was easily able to make a scan of the document I put on the platen.
I tried both Silverfast and Epson Scan again. I was never able to get anything via Epson Scan. Upon res-scanning with Silverfast, this is what I got:
Have any of you experienced this? Any thoughts?
Or do I have to make a trip to the repair shop?
