20 Most Recent Epson Perfection 1650 Photo Flatbed Scanner Questions & Answers

I recommend you do not take off the glass. I have done it and was never able to get rid of the dust, which really shows up on every scan. The fogging has something to do with an optical coating on the underside of the glass. If I knew then what I know now, I would let it be. If the fogging doesn't show up in scans, leave it. If it really does show up, the glass itself is often held down by simple double stick tape. You try to keep the tape intact so you can put it back down. It may be strong enough that the plastic frame on top of it could snap. Do it in as clean (not dusty) environment as possible so dust does not drift down inside the scanner. Never touch the lamp or move the scan mechanism. Again, don't do it unless it's showing up on scan results. Sadly, nobody "fixes" scanners, they are disposable, like coffee pots, even if they cost 300.00.

Hello there. You can download it here http://driverscollection.com/?H=Perfection%201650&By=Epson . I hope I was helpfull. Sincerely, Steve TM

If you do not have the manual for this product, you can download it at Epson.com. Also make sure that the lamp lock has been disengaged. It's usually located under the lid or on the bottom of the scanner. This prevents damage during shipping but will give an error if it's engaged when you warm it up. Good luck.

You can download the driver from http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=14552&prodoid=6464131&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh

Under ICA Scanner driver v5.3.0 there is the link for the driver and also how to scan with Mac OS X 10.6. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Vuescan is probably a good solution for you then:

No, you don't. If you are worried about it, you could uninstall, reboot Windows, and reinstall.

I believe you need to change your settings to professional, right now its in automatic or beginner.

something like that

thanks adi

Some people get this part confused, their is the chose operating system and then theirs chose the os version, you probably have a 64 bit o/s from the issues you are claiming. the fix here is you need 64 bit drivers. their is no official fix, but this will and probably mostlikly is the fix, a revemped or moded driver that works with your make and model scanner,
