<EM>&gt; I think it will be a problem of your Mainboard BIOS

<P>Just an update. I finally found out what the problem was with the scan
<BR>
quality. I recently upgraded my motherboard and re-introduced an old
<BR>
motherboard. I tried scanning on all three computers and all exhibited
<BR>
the same problem ruling out the mainboard as the culprit.
<BR>
<P>I've been powering my scanner using the 12V supply from my computer
<BR>
power supply. I noticed that if I powered the scanner with one computer
<BR>
while scanning using another computer, the scans were cleaner. I went
<BR>
out and bought an external supply and now the scans don't have the
<BR>
problems I was seeing before. It appears that there must have been some
<BR>
sort harmonic interference generated that corrupted the scanning of the
<BR>
image. Go figure!
<BR>
<P>I'm still intrigued as to why scanning from windows using TWAIN did not
<BR>
have the same problems as using SANE but at least I've got a working
<BR>
system now.
<BR>
<P>Cheers,
<BR>
