Normally any new scanner fresh from the factory has a 'lock' which prevents damages due to transportation. Ensure it is unlocked.

I had the same problem with My Espon Perfection V500. I called tech support and they had me do the following sequence.

1. Turn off the unit
2. Unplug the lid from the base
3. Replug in the lid.
4. Turn the unit back on
5. Go into the Epson software in Professional mode, Configuration, Other and select Reset All
6. Rescan the picture.

It worked after that. Of course it also lost all my preset sizes in my Custom box and any other settings I had. I suspect the lid plug is what the problem was.

Another word to the wise. To test it I put in a picture that was laying on my desk and rescanned it and was disappointed to see the line in the result. A few minutes later I discovered that this particular line was in the original picture.

If the start button light is flashing red, it is because of one of the following problems:

• The scanner is not connected to your computer properly or your software is not fully installed.
• The transportation lock is locked. Slide the lock to the unlock position.
