Yes, despeckle is unchecked. By the way, as I was checking I noticed a combo box labeled image format. I have no idea what that is and the choices are rather cryptic to me. Could that have anything to do with the problem? "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine."

I didn't think of this before . . . Look in your scanning settings and be sure that "despeckle" is unchecked. It's checked by default, and I have run into some books that will not scan with that setting in operation. Remember, in order to keep the settings you've changed you have to save them with either a name, or resave your new settings as default. HTH. Blessings.
