How do I get VueScan to scan full pages from my hp LaserJet 3030 ADF?
How do I get VueScan to scan full pages from my hp LaserJet 3030 Doc Feeder? I am trying to scan complete 8.5 x 11 inch pages with "Line art" or "Text". I am trying to produce TIF files. Am running VueScan 8.4.56 Professional Edition I am running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 and all security, reliability, and availability patches as of 2008 January 10. I have no problems scanning from the flatbed scanner, although I find that I have to use manual cropping to get the entire page. Although I am only trying to get multipage TIF files of "Line art" at 600 dpi, for my tests I have tried single and multiple pages, PDF and TIF output, various Scan resolutions, various Media, and a bunch of other things. With "Mode: Doc Feeder" I find that only part of the pages are scanned. I don't seem to be able to scan the entire width of the document: only 8.459 inches out of 8.5. But the big problem is that either the leading edge, the trailing edge, or both leading and trailing edge are missing. I have tried both PDF and TIF output, with various combinations of "Scan resolution", "Media", and output Printed Size for PDF and "PDF paper size" for PDF. I have tried various options for Crop: Manual, Maximum, Auto, 8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 14 and I still can't get everything included in the output files. If I mark the leading edge or the trailing edge with a black mark about 1/8 inch by 1 inch, I loose much less from that edge, but I still loose perhaps 1/64 inch. However, if I mark both leading and trailing than one of three things happen: 1. I see almost to the leading edge, 2. I see almost to the trailing edge, 3. I see a part somewhere in the middle. I can scan an 8.5x14 page and see more than 13 inches, but again not 14 inches. I fed in a page made by overlapping and taping 2 pages, resulting in an 8.5 x about 15 inch page. The PDF page seems to be 8.5 x 14. The scanned area about 8.5 by about 12 inches. The scanned area does not show a mark on the leading edge that I know can be seen by VueScan and included in TIF files (and perhaps PDF files) with other crop settings. I am not sure why the scanned area only represents about 12 inches of length. The scanned area appears across the entire 8.5 inch width of the PDF page, but I know that something less than 8.5 inches of width was scanned since I don't see marks on the edges of the page. I assume, therefore, that some scaling was done to produce the PDF file. The scanned area is centered top to bottom within the 14 inch long PDF page. The TIF file says it is 8.459 x 11.791 inches. (I don't know why it isn't 8.5 x 14.) The scanned area within the TIF file seems to match the 8.459 x 11.791 inches that the file says it is (so no scaling here.) 11 inches from the top of the actual page corresponds to about 10.85 from the top of the image, indicating about 0.15 inches was lost from the leading edge of the original page, but I know the document feeder is able to see closer to the leading edge since my .1 inch mark on the leading edge of the page can be seen when scanning using the document feeder and some other cropping settings. Does anyone know how to fix things? Can anyone suggest other combinations of things to try? If not, what other information do I need to send to VueScan support than: .. vuescan.log .. flatbed scan of a sample page .. complete listing of all values for all tabs in VueScan .. BelArc Advisor for my system The specific scan above was done using the following VueScan (partial list of) settings: Input: Task: Scan to file Source: LaserJet 3030 Mode: Doc Feeder Media: Color photo Media size: 8.5 x 14 in. Bits per pixel: Auto Batch scan: All Scan resolution: 150 dpi Rotation None (not Mirror) Auto scan: None Auto save: Scan Auto print: None Auto eject: Exit (not Lock image color) Crop Crop size: 8.5 x 14 (not Auto offset) X offset: 0 Y offset: 0 Multicrop: None (not Auto rotate) Crop orientation: Portrait Lock aspect ratio: Off Border (%): 0 Buffer (%): 0 Preview area: Manual Preview X offset: 0 Preview Y offset 0 Preview X size: 8.5 Preview Y size: 14 Filter and Color don't seem of interest here. I took the defaults. (not Restore colors) (not Restore fading) Grain reduction: None (not Sharpen) Output (just the stuff that seems related to the problem) Printed size 8.5 x 14 in. TIFF file ... PDF file PDF paper size: 8.5 x 14 in. Prefs (I took whatever the program wanted, either by default or by interaction with other parameters) Color balance: |

How do I get VueScan to scan full pages from my hp LaserJet 3030 ADF?

I am trying to produce TIF files. Ummm..a basic question. Can you scan an entire page in any way? Perhaps the doc feeder interface simply doesn't allow it for whatever reason? Also, you should ask on comp.periphs.scanners. This is pretty much a backwash group here. MM |
