Scanner help

[Aeturnus]

I recentely purchased a hp 4200c scanner and when I scan something there's terrible lines through the image. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this other than slamming it against a wall?

Try saving it in different formats... And open it up while it is scanning--see if you see the light going off, or the motion of the scanner not smooth.

Light stays on, movement is very smooth

Ask HP-------its under warranty isn't it?

Keeps screwing up take it back for a full refund.

not store bought, so I doubt the warranty is any good
