39181 2002-03-14 10:47:00 hi there,
I have a Dexxa 4800 flatbed scanner on my computer. It works fine. but when i scan a picture i get streek like lines all the way down my pictures. It all started when the glass fell in and i had to glue it back up. After cleaning it throughly theses streek makes that look like its light getting in but it still did it when I turned the lights off.
Also I have cleaned both sides of its glass. I was just wondering if you have any ideas that i could try or should i just buy a new one.
thanks chris

You might be able to 'calibrate' the scanner to compensate during the scans.
