hi,
(hope this question is ok for this ng)
i have 2 old ( 5 y/o) scanners (umax and ibm (parallel)) which have not
been used for several years.
they both scan well HOWEVER in both cases, the results have a yellow
tint (as though there was a yellow filter)
(they are on different pcs)
does anyone know how to *fix* this? (even a cleaning solution?)
(they are WAY out of warranty)
thank you


Does the light from the fluorescent lamps in the scanners look bright pure
white?

Could be a software/driver setting issue too, or it's possible I suppose
that the scanner is somehow not scanning blue but it's odd that two scanners
would do it.

hi James,
thanks for the reply!
the light looks okay.........

as far as settings / driver issues -- i imagine it could be some sort
of windows
95b bug?
i could test this on a win98se pc... however, i'd like to try to clean
the
scanners first
thanks!
