Hi Graeme.

I just discovered only two days ago that you can scan using Notes on the iPhone.
It is in the menu within Notes and can produce a PDF document.
Then email it to your Mac if necessary.

Hi Tony,
I had a somewhat similar problem with a scanner on the Canon multifunction.  I 
now use Vuescan for scanning and it works seamlessly.

Re: [WAMUG} Scanner.

[Graeme Winters]

Hi Tony
I have a Canon Maxify and stopped using the scanning feature some time ago as I 
found the result with B & W scans to be of poor quality
In more recent times I have used my IPhone to photograph documents and the 
results have been outstanding

Cheers

Graeme

Hi Tony

Because that issue could be very specific to that Epson product,
I reckon look up Epson Australia and email their support department.

Re: [WAMUG} Scanner.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Hi Guy’s

I would like to know if any of our Members have had a problem with a Photo 
Scanner?

I have an Epson Perfection 4870 Photo Scanner and until recently I was able to 
scan Negatives and Slides (Positives), for some reason I am only able to scan 
Photo’s, Colour or Black and White and Documents, I have a feeling that the 
lamp that the scanner uses to enable me to scan Negatives or Slides has died, 
would anyone know if that could be the problem.

I have spent almost a day trying to find information as to the problem without 
success.I actually downloaded another Driver,/ update, also without success. 
Tried the scanner with an Older Computer, that didn’t work either.

Previously when I was using the scanner a drop down box would show me the 
options available, ie: Positive. Negative. Text. Colour. Black and White.

Now all the drop down box shows: Text. Colour. Black and White. - Positive and 
Negative have disappeared.

Thank you

Kind Regards

Tony
