Your disk must be full or you need to do a 'defrag' on the volume where you are storing the data. Initially it is stored in the buffer and when the disk writing is slow, scanning speed is affected. Clean the disk for faster scanning.

The reading module is extremely sensitive. You need to handle very carefully. There appears an innocuous looking plastic strip, just under the glass, which is the LED unit. If it is disturbed, the lighting is affected and hence the output. (White light is a combination of RGB). When the intensity of the LEDs are affected you dont get right output. In my opinion it is difficult to fix this error. You may need to change the whole module.

The small ribbon cable underneath of the lift tray is probably broken.

If there is already a document inside the scanner while powering on, you get P00. Remove any paper inside the scanner. If there is no paper and you still get P00, then thee must be a small shred of paper blocking sensors. Gently blow air to clear it.

Your scanner has gone bad. These scanner units have a rows of LED's to light up the document when scanning. When the scanner goes bad they stop coming on which results in a black page being scanned. It is not always necessary for the LED's to stop coming on, but that is the most common failure. The last one of these I did the repair was nearly $900 as the scanner units from Canon are not cheap at around $600 to $700.
Rest assured tho that there is no other work around for this problem. You are going to have to either have the scanner assembly replaced or replace the whole machine with a new one.
Sorry for the bad news.

Check that the feed switch actuator is not trapped below the feed bed.

Blow out the interior of the scanner with canned air.

First try this: change the usb cable, try another USB port on the computer and if it does not recognize any, you have changed a logic board.
May have to check if start equipment, add sheets to be scanned and press the green button it will scan? (not connected to the computer) if so, sensors and engine works.

Hi
what size page are you trying to scan, if they are smaller than the gap between the transport rollers, they will not feed.

the single sheet problem you have:- the scanner knows when there is paper to feed when the sensor is pushed up beside the pick roller and it will put the tray down again when the rollers are pushed up. sometimes the little plastic sensor to the left of the roller gets a bit stuck and needs to be freed, it wares itself out where it hinges inside the cover around the pick roller. just unclipping it and cleaning it is usually enough.

good luck.

The scanner requires a minimum size of paper. The time required for feeding and the distance between rollers decide this size.

E34 refers to abnormalities in the Shading Solenoid Connection.(Lower side). If you open the scanner top cover and press the 'start' button, you will see two white strips (plastic) coming out. If it does not come out there is a problem. (This is used for Color balancing). Check if the connection to this are perfect. You may need to remove the plastic cover near ****** roller (The one which is in the bottom). Ensure that the plastic is not damaged.

There is a paper sensor just under the rolers in the lifting tray. Clean the area thoroughly with a damp cloth. Keep some sheets and try ]count only'. If it works then the sensor is okay, then you can try your scanning. If it is not sensing paper, check the sensor or connections to the sensor.

CapturePerfect ver 3 is on chargeable basis! You can download ver 2.0 from http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0022439.asp?model= Though this is listed under Canon DR 5020, it works fine with DR 9080C. DR 9080C has very intelligent features and ver 2 works fine. I do not know if there are addl features with ver 3.0. I have used for scanning over 500,000 docs.

The problem is probably in your scanning software, you have to tell it if you want to scan legal size, and if you leave it set for legal all the time it might put dark bars under the letter size docs. It depends on the version of software on your computer.

sounds like a compatability issue

The paper tray is lifted by set of levers under the tray and the levers are operated by a motor, under the display panel. Check if the levers are in position. The motor movement is transferred to the lever by a plastic gear. Check if it is deformed. Normally motor does not fail.

Sounds like you need a new CIS unit, the scan assembly or its lamps are flickering.

Make sure the feed switch on the feed tray and eject assembly is not knocked out of position.
