I've got a Lexmark X85 Printer/copier/scanner - brilliant when its working but at the moment its behaving badly. It won't scan to e mail so I have to put stuff into Documents and send it like that. Don't know whats wrong with it and am no computer buff thats for sure. I put a coloured photo onto document and sent that but the result was black and white and unrecognisable. Any tips please ? Mary Brooke Scanner now working - was it something I said ??....Mary |

I'm using PSP 5 the freeby version with my primax 9600, most of the time I get good results with a setting of 500 dpi for black and white and 200 for colour. It depends what I want to do with the pics, mostly I just keep them on floppy discs. Occasionally with colour I get a blue overtone on the scanned picture as if some of the hue is missing and I have to reduce the resolution. regards Dave |

I have one of these oldish scanners and it beats the new HP scanner that I use in the office for quality. The software you use may have some impact on the quality of the scan and also as Steve says, the resolution you choose. John |

My scanner is a Primax, Colorado Direct 9600. I always seem to get poor definition from anything scanned. Am I doing something wrong or is it that my scanner is not up to doing better scans. Roy White |
