Problems when scanning
Good evening ksys,
Let me address these and see if I can be of some help.
1.Many scanners will go into a sleep mode, in an effort to conserve power. I don't know for sure but this maybe an option that can be reset somewhere in the control panel menu. Refer to your user guide in the sections that talk about energy, sleep mode or conservation.
2. The tracks that you see on the printed forms sound like a problem in the photo conductor area. Toner beads (or lint, paper shreds, etc.) will clump up and cause this to happen. If you can get to the photo conductor, a gentle cleaning (usually in the area where the photo conductor is pulled back down into the toner bin) may resolve your problem. In some cases, you may actually see a band or streak of toner on the photo conductor. These can sometime be removed, but if the photo conductor is scratched in that area, the problem will come right back. Any cleaning in this area needs to be done with a very soft, clean, dry cloth. You have to be careful not to scratch the photo conductor, or you will just add to the problem.
3. Yes the skewing problem can definitely be caused by the forms. And NCR paper has always seemed to present problems in printers and scanners. Some machines can be adjusted (usually out of specs) for correction of this problem, but many cannot. Something else that you may look for is any type of buildup on the feed rolls that move the paper into, and through, the machine. Any deposits found on the rollers can usually be cleaned off with 90% rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. If the deposits are dark in color, they could be part of the cause of the verticle streaks that you mentioned. I would have to actually look at the machine(s) in question to determine whether or not this could be done.
Hopefully, this information will be of help and what you were looking for.
