MF8280CW scan result is a white page

Hey everybody, hey Canon !
I'm having a serious trouble scanning with my brand new Canon i-SENSYS MF8280CW and I was wondering if someone else is experiencing or has experienced any similar issue : all scanned documents are white, no content shows on the scanned file, whatever the employed scanning method is (scan through dedicated software, scan to PC or scan directly to an USB stick).
On one hand, scanning through Mac OS Preview or through MF Toolbox gives white pages. Same thing happens if you ask the printer to send the document directly to your hard-drive (scan to PC).
On the other hand, the printer doesn't recognize any USB sticks, I tried all USB sticks and external hard-drives I own, some formatted in NTF, other for Mac OS. No result. They all work otherwise.
Even scanning through a USB cable results in a white page
I spoke 3 times with the hotline and all they say is that I need to install the most up-to-date drivers. But I do have the most up to date drivers and everything works just fine except for the scanner : http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/imageclass_series/color_imagec...
My configuration : Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) and Mac OS 10.9.5 (Macericks) : I actually have both and unfortunately the results are strictly the same
Is there any diagnostic tool to run on the printer ? Is it possible it's a hardware issue ?
Thanks in advance for your help !!

I confirm, it wasn't a driver problem!
After many many calls to the hotline over two weeks (and several tweets), Canon finally accepted to send a guy to check the printer and try to repare it. He wasn't able to figure out what was wrong, and he ordered a replacement mothernoard. I waited for a month or so without any news, called several times in the meanwhile, and finally they told me then tought the problem was resolved... ?!!
Finally, the repare guy came and try to inslall the motherboard, but it wasn't the right model for my printer ... Finally, after some more calls and tweeting, they finally agreed to send a new printer that now works just fine. The whole thing took 2 months...
Of course, I'm very disappointed... I could understand that occassioally, due to a human error, a customer could fond himself in my situation, but Canon didn't even try to apologize. For the last 20 years, I've bought several printers and digital cameras, the next time I might consider trying something else.
Hope your problem will be solved soon !

Put scanned text on "fresh" white page?

Hi!
First of all, nice to be here and now for my first post:
In ABBY Finereader 11 that I tried before going for Adobe Acrobat X Pro (10) it had a feature that after it had scanned the document it automatically took the text and put it on nice "clean" white pages wheras the original had black or gray areas and/or underlines.
Is there a similar feature in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and if so where do I find it?
Thank you in advance - Karl

I finally figured it out... you have to go from "edit content" to "edit layout"... which seems counterintuitive... like it should be the other way around cause I wanted to edit the content after all... oh well. hope this helps someone else.

Search results are blank white pages?

Ever since the last upgrade Firefox/3.6.10 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729) I am having constant trouble with blank white search results. Also, pages load and are white and blank and it shoes the staus as done. I am ready to jump ship. Any fixes? Thanks

See [[Images or animations do not show]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

How can detect and remove scanned white pages in an OCRd pdf file?

How can detect and remove scanned white pages in an OCRd pdf file?

Acrobat does not support an automated way of doing this directly. You can
remove completely blank pages (pages that don't have any "marking
objects"), but a scanned page does contain an image, so Acrobat won't help
you here. There are a number of 3rd party applications and plug-ins
available. Try a Google search for
remove blank pages from scanned
pdf<http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=removeblankpagesfromscanned+pdf&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>
This will bring up a few different solutions.
Another way is to use JavaScript to find text. You say that these documents
are OCRed, so if you have a blank page, it should not have any text on it.
With some JavaScript, you can identify pages that don't contain text. This
may however fail if you have a page that contains just e.g. a photographic
image. There won't be any text, but the page is certainly not blank.

Bad Scan result black page with color vertical lines

Why my HP Deskjet 1050 All in one printer Bad Scan result black page with color vertical lines ? i'm running on linux mint 17.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you are getting vertical lines with your scanning when using your HP Deskjet 1050 printer on Linux Mint 17. I am happy to look into this for you! What happens when you make copies with the printer? Copy Documents with Text and Graphics. Do you still see the vertical lines? In the meantime, please see this guide, Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies or Scans, and let me know what happens! Hope to hear from you soon! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Export to FLA results in white page

Hi,
Not new to InDesign but completely new to the export to FLA function. I would like to have some interactive InDesign features as HTML5. I read in several posts this could be done by exporting to FLA and from within Flash export to HTML5
Everyone seems to do it. But I feel stupid as can be. Whatever I make in InDesign (5.5 and CC) with an interactive feature (Fly inn from left) exports and shows a blank page in Flash. Why?
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay, my head was stuck in another project.
What I try to do is this:  http://www.adobetrainer.co.uk/indesign-tips/indesign-how-to-create-html5-advert.html
Now it refers to Walliby. That is now linked to a Flash page.
I saw the same in a 'whats new in InDesign' movie. Where InDesign animation worked in Flash. Indeed a page per frame, but still, working.
The only way I can get a page visible, is to rasterize it. But then, its just a picture. (duhhh ;-))

Any thoughts why I endup with a white page?

Scanning Paper Copies of White and Black Photos: in Grey scale or in color mode?

I started to scan old black and white paper photos of my deceased father. He shot most of these photos around 1940. The photos are typically around 9.5cm x 6.5 cm (around 3.7 x 2.5 inches), sometimes they are even smaller. Typically, 4-6 photos are glued on each page of a dark photo-album paper. I do not have available any negatives.
My main objective: enjoy to look at the scanned photos on my 19 inch PC Monitor Display. I can imagine, that I will also print a couple of them in something close to their original dimensions.
For the scan, I am using my home flat-bed scanner (it is a 3-year old Canoscan N676U). I am scanning at a resolution of 300, 400 or 600 dpi. I experimented both with a "grey scale" and a "color (photo)" scans. I am not sure what is better: scan in grey scale? Or scan in color?
Scanning in "Color" results (this is at least my subjective impression) in a little bit more/better contrast. However this results also in some yellow/brown/sepia taint, that I do not like very much (the taint becomes especially disagreeable, if I eventually use the PSE Editor to adjust the lighting). Therefore, after the scan I typically use the PSE V5 Editor "Enhance" --> "Convert to Black and White" to get rid of the yellow/brown taint.
Can somebody make me some recommendations and tell me which one is the better method:
1) Scan with "Colors" and then use the PSE Editor to get rid of color taints? Or
2) Scan in "Gray scale" (which allows me to scan with a greater resolution)?
At this time, I have the impression, that both methods results in more or less comparable results. But I fear somehow, that I might be currently missing some important aspects and that I could regret it much later, at a time where I will not have anymore the originals (they do not belong to me, and I have to return them).
I found the following two contradictory recommendations:
1) In the PSE Forum "Tips, Tools, How-To and Techniques....", in the Topic "Scanned Images", I found following Post:
brent bertram - 11:14am Oct 18, 05 PST (#5 of 6)
AND, even Black & White photos typically benefit from being scanned as a color image, rather than grey scale. You have much more flexibility in editing and adjustments.
2) A Canon Dealer recommended me to scan my black and white images with grey scale, not with colors.
Thank You very much for Your Feedback.

Robert.....
I would go along with the advocates of scanning in colour as it gives you far more flexibility to tweak the colour channels in editor. For your final version you can then either convert to grayscale or,preferably in my opinion, use one of the PSE desaturation methods,and retain the file as RGB.
A very useful source of scanning information can be found at http://www.scantips.com/

Why does my brand new HP Officejet 5740 have extremely poor quality scan results?

My brand new HP Officejet 5740 has extremely poor quality scan results!
Excessive and unacceptable amounts of white specs appear in the resulting jpegs, of what are perfectly clean, orignal, dark, documents, pages and photos, when placed into the scanner. Why is this happening???
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?

Hi @mpstone1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not happy with the scan quality on your new HP Officejet 5740, when you scan something you are getting alot of white specs.
I would like you to first perform a Hard Reset on the OJ 5740:
1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
Please continue here: Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans, complete the steps listed, make sure the scanner lid is fully down when powering on, do not lift the lid until the printer is fully initialzied.
If after the troubleshooting has been done the copy quality has not improved, contact our technical support at 800-474-6836 as it may be the hardware and you would still be in warranty. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

When i click on a link on a website it opens a new non working white page on (MAC) when i know the link works

when i click on a link on a website it opens a new non working white page on (MAC) when i know the link works

It sounds like your computer may be infected with some sort of a virus / Malware.
I suggest the following resources:
[[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware |Is my Firefox problem a Result of Malware]] is a Mozilla Support article with some good tips on avoiding and fighting malware.
To double check your system is clean, do the following (Not official Mozilla advice, just good practice from personal experience)
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
Double check for all Windows Updates.
Also, I noticed you have the coupon printer installed. I would go to Start, Control Panel, then programs and features and uninstall the coupon Printer from inside there. It can cause some problems with Firefox.
If you are still having problems with Malware after that, I would recommend either [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/], or having your computer cleaned by a professional.

I would like to see the results divided in more pages

Hi,
I've done a search web application (whit JSP).
After a search I would like to see the results divided in more pages with an index pages [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...] (like forum's page).
How can I do?
thank's,
Marco

My code is...
<%
articoli.find();
if (articoli.oArticlesList!=null && articoli.oArticlesList.length!=0) {%>
<hr noshade="noshade" align="center" size="1"></hr>
Search Results...
<% for (int i=0; i<articoli.oArticlesList.length; i++) {%>
<%=(i+1)%>)<a href="corpo.jsp?title=<%=articoli.oArticlesList[i.sTitolo%">"><%=articoli.oArticlesList.sTitolo%></a>
Abstract: <%=articoli.oArticlesList[i].sOcchiello%>
<%articoli.setRiferimento(articoli.oArticlesList[i].sTitolo);%>
<%articoli.getReferenceNum();%>
Referenced <%=articoli.oReferenceList.length%> times
<% }
} else {%>
No match found!
<%}%>
when the results are displayed I see them only in a page.
I want to see them divided in more pages, like a search engine or this forum results ( pages [1,2,3,...] ) </a>

HP LaserJet 3330 shows horizontal lines exactly every 1.5" when printing a completely white page

HP LaserJet 3330 shows seven or eight about 3.5" long cloudy horizontal lines spaced exactly every 1.5" even when printing a completely white page. This occurs also when copying and faxing.
There are also 2 very thin vertical lines running down the whole page approx. in the middle. They are exactly 1" apart.
However, a scan of a white page viewed on my computer (not printed) is completely clean.
Windows 7. No changes or upgrades.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Propbably the toner cartridge if they are 1.48" apart it could be the developing cylinder or the charging roller that are both in the toner cartridge. So a good guess if you replace the toner cartridge, the problem will go away. The vertical lines could also be part of this issue.

Having trouble with my PHP code. Appers to get stuck on a white page.

HI all,
I have just began having trouble with my PHP code. Was working before and haven't made any changes to the code since last time it worked.
What happens is after the form is submitted it goes to a white page (no text just all white page) and in the address bar it has the path for my php page. what supposed to happen is either it goes to a success page or a error page.
I've had a problem where the info entered is correct but was directed to the error page. i managed to fix that issue but i am puzzled what is happening to my php page now.
Mind you that i didn't write this code i just took over the responsiblities of this website and i am hopping that its a quick fix.
I appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.
CODE:
<?php
 $to = '[email protected]';
 $from = '[email protected]';
 //Make sure we have some info posted from the form...
 if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
 //Clear the body of the message to be sent
 $body = '';
 //go through all POSTed variables sent
 while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
 if($key <> "Submit" && $key <> "submit") {
 $body .= $key . ' = ' . $value . "\r\n";
 //Now building mail headers.....
 $headers = "From: ".$from."\r\n";
 //Mail message
 $success = mail($to, "Email Club" . date("m/d/Y"), $body, $headers);
 // CURL stuff.....
 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4); //times out after 4s
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
 if ($success){
 //readfile('http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html');
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html");
 header("Location:http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html");
 else{
 // readfile('http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html');
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html");
 header("Location:http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html");
 // Output
 //$result=curl_exec ($ch);
 //curl_close ($ch);
 //echo $result'";
?>

Insert the install disk and boot from it. Use disk utitlity to repair your drive and check for errors (report any errors back here) then reinstall the os. This should not erase your data.

Utilizing APEX 4.2 mobile picture upload issue, undefined white page.

1 Use your phone (I have iphone)
2 go to http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=64562 in your browser demo/demo4u
3 type a number in for the id (PK)
4 click load image
5 take picture
6 choose use
7 wait for load to server
8 click create
9 after create, click download
10 results in a blank white page with the word undefined.
If you remove the reference on the end of the url you can get the picture to show. This does not go over very well with customers.

I made the change and the problem still exist. Give it a go.
The odd part is that after you get undefined, if you do a refresh of the page the picture shows up and you get stuck in a strange state of hitting the back button that eventually lands you back on a application page.
Nice, but not something I could move to production.
Thank you for your time ;-)

Printer regonizes Black/white page as color page

When we print a Word document to a PDF file with the Acrobat printer, pages that contain only Black/White information but with an image that looks as if it is Black/White, the printer recognizes the page as a color page. When we print this page with Word directly to the printer, the page is recognized as a Black/White page.
Are there color setting available which control the setting for gray scale images to be printed Black/White?

Leo,
choose for default settings a joboption set which
contains for output
Settingsfile: None
Color Management: Leave Color Unchanged (!)
Results:
Source sRGB (color): PDF color 3x8 bits
OK
Source Grayscale: PDF gray 1x8 bits (Indexed)
OK
Source sRGB (gray) with R=G=B: PDF gray 1x8bits (Indexed)
Very wrong.
This is a well known bug in the Acrobat software:

When accessing certain links I get the follwoing on a white page: It Works! This does not happen at the link using Explorer

An example of this is when I clicked on the link for the weather .gov radar site on my bookmark it did not go to the radar site but returned the white pager with the owrs: It Works!
This has occurred on other sites where I have tried to access a link. I used Explorer and was able to access the site.
Any thoughts? I have run an antivirus scan to no avail.
Thank you

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
