Banding - Kodak PS50 Series User Manual

Banding

A-61760 September 2012
If streaking is still apparent in your images, clean the open imaging
guide area in your scanner.
Using an anti-static brush (similar to the brush shown in the illustration
below), gently brush the imaging guide area to remove dust and debris.
Use a Brillianize Detailer Wipe to clean the closed imaging guide.
Banding can occur when photos are curled in landscape orientation
and fed through the scanner. If you experience an issue with curled
photos that generate horizontal bands on images, it is suggested that
you rotate the photos by 90 degrees and feed the photos in the scanner
so the curl is not in the direction of the transport. This may eliminate or
minimize the banding.
NOTE: It is suggested that you feed photos top first to minimize
banding in light areas at the top of photos.
Top
Place a blank placeholder top sheet on top of the stack of photos being
scanned. This top sheet can reduce banding and also protects the top
photo from tire marks as the last photo before the top sheet is fed into
the scanner. This top sheet is a good place to record customer
information since it will be scanned with the photos.
