It might be the scanner driver is corrupted, try to uninstall andreinstall the scanner driver again and then add again the scanner into the printer and faxes device.

Hi Arlene,

Have a look here:

This is the quick reference card that would have been supplied with the scanner, scroll through the information to page 5 which tells you how to scan film or slides.

If you want the full manual and information then have a look here:

Yes I think it is time for new scanner . Hope this helps

I am sure the original poster will have probably replaced the unit by now but I just had a similar problem with my Epson Perfection 2480 Photo scanner so I think it is still worth posting the solution in case other people hit this problem in the future. All I had to do was put the switch underneath the scanner to the "unlocked" position and then reboot the unit. Hey presto it burst back into life. It's annoying to see that the manual seems to suggest that the red light means the unit is "dead" !

Troubleshooting Paper Reversal in Printers: *Confirm that options related to paper handling are set correctly by checking for specific buttons or switches that relate to paper handling or reversing. *Ensure that paper is loaded properly to avoid feeding problems. *Remove any dust, particles, or paper remnants from the rollers, as they can impede paper flow. *If other measures fail, reset the printer to its initial settings to resolve potential software glitches.

If you take is apart you may find jammed gears or dry lubricant causing a 'paper jam', due to its age and storage.

Try a hard reset of the printer. Oddly, the 034019 is not an error code, I have reason to think. It is a contact number, I believe.
