Image is garbled when scanning with image capture

I have a strange problem scanning using Image Capture and an Epson Workforce 600 printer/scanner/fax.
The preview scan looks like this. When opened in Pixelmator, it looks similar.
After a reboot, the preview images from the scanner are okay, images scan fine but only for a short time. Then it goes back to something like the image above.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
iMac 27", late 2009
OS X 10.9.4

In the end, I did a clean re-installation of the system software -- our iMac was having other issues.
I think that the "garbled" image was a known Pixelmator/Graphics card problem.

Apparently, they have, "...top men working on it right now."
Thanks for the help!

HP 7310 ALL-IN-ONE, WHEN SCANNING WITH DOCUMENT FEEDER SUDDENLY STOPS HALF WAY THROUGH

I put the document in the feeder and start to scan. The ADF accepts half the page and then stops and makes a screeching sound. The scanning head is half way across the glass so I presume it has something to do with that. I can do a manual scan. Any help would be great.

Hi BENNSHEP,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that when scanning with the document feeder, the HP Officejet 7310 printer stops scanning halfway through. I am happy to help you with this scanning issue!
Please take a look through these two guides:

How do i detach a document when scanned with several documents?

how do i detach a document when scanned with several documents?

You would need the full version of Adobe Acrobat for that. Adobe Acrobat Reader cannot accomplish this at all.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Crashes When Scanning with Canon DR-4010C Native Interface

When doing a custom scan in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2, I need to be able to show the Canon DR-4010C native interface so that it will auto-crop when I am scanning small documents such as receipts, etc. I have another model scanner that does it automatically (a Canon Dr-2510C) but I need that same functionality when I scan with the 4010. I can see the setting when I configure Adobe to use the scanner's native interface however when I choose "auto detection" on the size (in the scanner's interface) and press scan, Adobe immediately crashes. Please help!

Also, your log says: Acrobat.exe, version: 9.0.0.332
Looks like you have not updated Acrobat after install. The current version is 9.4.6. Also try updating Acrobat, Help->Check for updates

Windows 7 crashes when scanning with security essentials in bootcamp

Hi
Hope someone can help.
I believe all my software is up to date.
When I run a complete scan using W7 security essentials in boot camp I get a Blue Screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Barry

OK
I ran a scan disk on the partition and it ran cleanly to completion.
I then scanned only the bootcamp partition with security essentials. it ran cleanly.
I then selected my LaCie USB3 disk which is formatted in OSX mode. not NTFS. The scan failed with the BSOD stating that there was a Bad_Pool_Call.
So I'm happy to scan only the Bootcamp partition.
I'll raise this in the Windows support group, but I suspect they will say its a deficiency in the bootcamp interface modules. I can't help but agree.
Thanks to all for your constructive comments.

Unexpected Numeric Overflow on empty tables when scanning with DMU

I have an instance of oracle running on an isolated network (oracle 11.2.0.3), on a Windows Server 2008 r2, x64 dell R705 server
When using the DMU to scan tables, I get the following error:
ORA-01426: numeric overflow
DBMS_DUMA_INTERNAL: line 8
DBMS_DUMA_INTERNAL: line 43
at line 1
I get his on multiple tables, but in each case, the table is empty (0 rows)
Can I safely ignore this? How do I get DMU to ignore the errors and continue?
Thanks in advance.

The fix for bug 8743409 is not included in the 11.2.0.1 release. Please check the DMU supported configurations. In order to use DMU on any versions of the database before 11.2.0.3, you need to apply a prerequisite server-side patch on one of the supported configurations. If you can upgrade to 11.2.0.3, there is no need to apply additional patches and the aforementioned fix is included.

Slooow scanning with CanoScan Lide 35

I've recently noticed a considerable speed drop when scanning with my CanoScan Lide 35. It's supposed to be USB 2.0 and when using system profiler it gives the speed at 480 Mbs, but it seems more like USB 1.1. when I'm scanning. It used to be much faster and the problem really started a short while back. Could it be caused by the Mac OS X 10.4.7 upgrade? I'm using Photoshop (9.0.1.) and CanoScan Toolbox when scanning. The scanner behaves the same whatever port I use. I've updated to the latest drivers. Anyone got a clue?
PowerMac G5 1.8 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I would prefer to see a backup routine, followed by erase and restore, then reapply the 10.4.7 update AND you may want to reinstall Canon drivers. You could just clone to another drive and boot from that. SuperDuper can be used in demo mode for a simple clone process.
MacFixit had a lengthy, in-depth series of 4? articles on preferences and plists and checking for corrupt prefs (I tend to rely on Applejack along with Preferential Treatment - there are also some other tools mentioned in the tutorial).
I have an MDD so I have added and tried a couple different USB2 controllers, and someone else mentioned that while the latest Sonnet Allegro USB2 is working fine for me (no issues, no problem with deep sleep etc) they were having a problem.
My own first recommendation with troubleshooting hardware is to always start up in Open Firmware and use the reset-nvram[/ib] command.

HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
Thanks

I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

I can print to a Lexmark X4550, but not scan (with Image Capture)

Following tips (by "Lexmark Listens" and others) I succeded in printing (via USB and wifi) to a Lexmark X4550.
But when scanning (via USB) using the Image Capture app (included in Mac OS), Image Capture sees the scanner a couple of seconds, then complains that no scanner is connected (although it still is).
This happens with a MacBook (Pro), but not with another MacBook (white).
I tried (not necessarily in this order):
- reboot
- repair disk permissions
- re-installing drivers (both printer driver and "Image Capture Application Scan Driver for for 10.6.8 and later Mac OS") from Lexmark support site.
- running Mac OS software update (which updated the printer driver to version 2.8]
- resetting the printing system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
How can I completely remove all files related to Lexmark printers&scanners and try again installing from a clean state?
(I see in other posts that a Lexmark Uninstaller is sometimes located in HD/Library/Printers/Lexmark/YEAR/ ; I used to have one here, but it was removed during previous attempts at getting the scanner working ; and anyway when I run this Uninstaller at the time, it did not completely clean the /Printer/Lexmark)
My problem is very similar to this one described in this bug report in Lexmark knowledge base:
http://bit.ly/MOR9bd
But the patch proposed is "For Mac OS X 10.6 only" and titled "LexmarkPro800-Pro900SeriesQFE1.0.0.dmg" so I don't think it would work for a Lexmark X4550. (Indeed I installed this patch and the problem is still there).
As for the workaround suggested, "When using Apple's Image Capture application, do not use the "Show Details" option [...]", I can't get it to work: as soon as I launch Image Capture, it starts scanning (a preview) and the "Show Details" bouton is grayed out.
I've already spent many hours trying to get this printer-scanner to work with my Mac.
Any suggestion would be very helpful!

Same issue, sort of. After ML upgrade, Lexmark x264dn fails to register as a printer & scanner, there is no scan tab anymore. Also, image capture application is stuck in a crash loop until I disable mDNS (bonjour) on the printer. Still, it does not register as a scanner anywhere (protoshop, image capture, preview...)
I have installed all the package scripts from Lexmark's Mountain Lion support page. No dice.

Scanjet G4050- How to scan multiple slides at one time with Image Capture

Using Scanjet G4050 with Mac and OS 10.6. Thus using Image Capture to control scanner. When using the slide template for 16 slides, Image Capture only allows me to select one slide at a time.
Is there a way to fill the template with 16 slides and have Image Capture scan all 16 slides without having to select each one in turn? It is a real pain to have to direct each scan.

Hi jpbear
I am going to take credit for finding the solution that the HP Photo Suite from OSX 5 works in subsequent Mac OSX. Look at this web page.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4019&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3236...
If this doesn't work for you, I am willing to guide you to finding the page. I downloaded a copy a few minutes ago and it was still available. The Photo Suite is actually an amazing set of applications but the one you want to use with your HP ScanJet G4050 is HP Scan Pro. I continue to use it with OSX 9 but other people have reported that it continues to work with OSX 10 as well. It allows me to scan the 16 slides on the bed individually with one pass. It also has some colour balancing function.

Scanning transparencies with image capture/preview

We have just bought an epson v600 scanner. We have Lion so we need to use image capture or preview to scan with the it; this is not a problem for twhat we hope to use it for.
When we first used it, we scanned some small pics to see what they looked like like. Then we scanned some negatives using an drop-down option called something like Transparencies (negative). Worked out okay. Then we scanned some more pics, again with no problem.
However, now we want to scan some more transparencies. However, we no longer have the drop-down that lists transparencies. How do we get that back? What did I do to make it disappear?

I've got the same problem w/my Epson perfection3490. Hope someone can help us both.

Epson scan under Lion with image capture

The first scan I made with image capture at 150dpi appeared usable.
However the letter scanned was no longer white but slightly green and pink and the file size was at 3,8Meg!
A pdf at 150dpi for an A4          :          3,8M
A jpg at 150dpi for an A4          :          549Kb
A pdf at 96dpi for an A4           :          1,5M
A jpg at 96dpi for an A4           :          209Kb
With the Epson Scanner Software I had good rendering and an A4 page was around 100 and 200Kb in jpg or pdf.
What’s going on! The new software caused a 1800% increase in the file size!
I am stuck with my scanner and papers.
The image correction is limited.
The pdf files created are enormous.
There is no way we want to work and start to store this files!
A quick solution is needed to correct the situation.

A bit of history taken from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29
Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator for Mac OS X which allows many PowerPC applications to run on certain Intel-based Macintosh computers without modification. Apple released Rosetta in 2006 when it transitioned the Macintosh platform from the PowerPC to Intel processor microarchitecture. The name "Rosetta" is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, the discovery of which made it possible to comprehend and translate Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Rosetta is based on QuickTransit technology.[1] It has no graphical user interface, which led Apple to describe Rosetta as "the most amazing software you'll never see."[2]
Rosetta was initially included with Mac OS X v10.4.4 "Tiger", the version that was released with the first Intel-based Macintosh models.[3]
Mac OS X v10.6 "Snow Leopard" does not include Rosetta by default but retains an option in the installer for the user to include it. It can also be automatically installed by the system if needed at a later time.
Mac OS X v10.7 "Lion" neither includes nor supports Rosetta at all. Therefore, with Lion, the current Macintosh platform drops support for PowerPC applications.
" WIKIPEDIA.
The discs wich came with a scan are mainlly PowerPC.
Epson no more do Scan software, driver yes to be used by Image Capture or other.
They are all the same, want to sell hardware not software.
For me, To stay at a reasonable file size limit, I do clear choice between what will be B&W and color.
In Image Capture : the Black and White can be treated directly in PDF, using:
- Image correction :
     - Contrast to full
     - Brightness one step
With color I have quite no choice, JPEG:
- Image correction
     - Brightness +3
After in a viewer I do a color autolevel.
If I want it in PDF, save in PDF and finally apply a "in house" Filter from ColorSync Utility.
I don't use the built in "reduce file size", it's too extrem and the results are very poor.
Regards
B.

Trouble Printing PDF's scanned with Image Capture

OK this is a strange problem. I have Macbook Pro and a Lexmark E230 laser printer which prints everything out just fine in safari, word, pages, numbers - anything except PDF's that are specifially scanned with the Image Capture application.
I printed four PDF's that were made from different sources, some just assembled JPEGs, one that was text printed from Pages, and another instruction manual randomly downloaded from the internet. All printed fine.
My wife and I scan a lot for our home business and any PDF that we have scanned using Image Capture prints only the first page, then hangs, and then the rest of the document does not print. If I try to print the second or other pages manually, I get an error printed on the page saying :
ERROR: limitcheck
OFFENDING COMMAND: image
STACK:
And the image partially prints.
I am aware of all driver issues, have tried using old drivers, completely reset the print system using the OPTION and ( - ) key in the printer system prefs. I have also used the most up to date drivers, nothing seems to change this. I am also aware of a printers limitations as far as using images or PDFs with a lot of memory.
The thing that makes me confused is that this all seemed to work perfectly before (in Lion) and even during the inital stages of Mountain Lion. At some point (this is on my wife's computer), I'm not sure when the issues started exactly, I was unable to print PDFs scanned with Image Capture properly.
This used to work, now it doesn't. Printer hasn't changed, types of documents haven't changed. Any ideas?
Thanks so much,
Jim

Welcome to Apple Discussions, bubblebanium!
I have experienced your problem on several occasions and found the culprit to be a corrupt font. Try selecting everything in the document and changing it to a font that you are certain prints. If the problem persists, try copying everything and paste it into a new document. If your document is several pages, try printing one page to hone in on the problem.
If the problem still persists, does your document have bullet items? If yes, and the bulleted items were created with the automatic bullet feature, then the problem may be the default font used for that feature (most likely the Symbol font).
To change to a different font, go to the Format menu, select Bullets and Numbering. Click on the style of bullets your document uses and then click the Customize button. In the next window, click on the shape of bullet your document uses and then click the Font button below. A Font window appears in which you can then select a different font. Afterwards, if the document prints, then the default font is probably corrupt and you may want to replace it with a good copy.
Hope this helps.
