[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Sharp JX100 Scanner

jep@mtiame.oz (Jesper Peterson) (11/19/90)

I have a JX100 scanner and ASDG's ScanLab 100 software. It was all working
while in the U.S. but after transportation to Australia there is a problem.
The software reports the firmware version and the scanner moves as you would
expect for the various resolution options. However no image is produced
(as I said it worked in the U.S.) except occasionally I just get a white
bar at the left edge of the image.

The question I have is does the scanner self test? Would the ASDG software
report hardware problems if they were severe enough? (My manual is still in
transit from the U.S.) The scanner will probably need to be serviced now
regardless of the problem but if it would report anything serious (no image
could be considered serious) I might have a poke around for loose wires.
Might the light sensor have been damaged by X-rays going through customs?

Thanks for any help.

Jesper.
