Scanning starts before initialization is finished. 2. It can't perform 16 bit scans. 16 bit color scan produce images with a bl= end of colors and absolutely no figures; the outcome is the same no matter which document is in the scanner. Same with 16 bit gray except that the output now= is a blend of grayscales. When you say that 16 bit scans should work I fear that the backend I install= ed is not the newest. Could you please check that? Regards, Erik P. Olsen
