Hi reverendmother-

 

Out of curiosity, what happens if you scan just 1 page?   Is that blank?    Are you scanning from the flatbed or feeder?   What paper size are you scanning?

 

Thanks!

Hi

I'm using a flatbed scanner and I try to scan just one page and it too came out blank - this only happens when I scan document to file - not photograph to file

Many thanks

Hi Rm,

 

Ok, when you do the scan, I assume you see the page correctly in the preview prior to saving it, correct?    It's only when you save the page that it comes out blank?

 

If you change the file type from PDF to something else for Document To File, does it work?

 

Again, assuming this is PDF... what PDF viewer are you using?   Have you tried opening the PDF on another computer to see if it looks OK there?    It could be that your PDF viewer (most commonly Adobe) is corrupted and that you might need to uninstall the PDF viewer and reinstall the latest version.
