When power, wait, diagnostics, and paper-ready lights are all flashing, it means the scanner has powered up in Boot mode. This mode is used in emergency cases to upgrade the scanner's firmware when the upgrade-firmware process has been interrupted. If the scanner shows this combination of flashing lights, try the following remedies: ● Reboot the scanner and the touch screen. ● If the scanner remains in Boot mode, perform a system recovery with the System Recovery DVD that came with your scanner. Lines in the scanned image appear too thin or discontinuous When scanning documents with thin lines, such as CAD drawings, a scanresolution setting of less than 300 dpi can result in disproportionately thin or discontinuous lines. HP recommends that you set the scan resolution to a minimum of 300 dpi when scanning CAD drawings and other documents with thin lines. Scanning with higher resolution lengthens the overall scan time, but it ensures greater image quality. This issue is not as noticeable when scanning photos and area fills. For more information on setting the scan resolution, see Scan-quality settings on page 13.
