Hi all,
Recently my HP Scanjet 6100c stopped working correctly after more than 8
years of service. There have been no recent hardware or software
configuration changes and I am pretty confident that this is a hardware
issue.
When I power on the scanner, it moves the head forward from it's parked
position, turns on the lamp and just sits there. During this phase, the
scanner does not respond on the SCSI bus.
After two or three minutes, the scanner returns the head back to the
parked position and turns off the lamp. It then responds on the SCSI
bus, and returns "HP C2520A 3644" to SCSI inquiry commands.
An attempt to scan at this stage will result in the scanner turning on
the lamp and moving the head forward from the parked position. At this
stage the scanning process stops and no data is returned.
Has anyone seen this problem or something similar?
Any suggestions as to the nature of the fault or how to troubleshoot it?
I can use Windows or Linux tools to send SCL commands to the scanner if
required - are there any detailed diagnostics available?
Thanks.
P.S. - Please *post* answers, emails will bounce.
