I have and use that scanner. I only use Vuescan software with it and have not noticed anything like you mentioned. You might try a download of Vuescan (www.hamrick.com) - trial software is free and see if it makes any difference. If you still see the same problem with that, I would guess you have a problem with the scanner.
