With my scanner the light is bright all the way across the scanner.

I have installed the software and it shows up in my list of scanners. However, when I scan with it, I get only blank pages. Iʼm using my usual Fine-Reader scan software with the Opticbook 3600 selected as the scanner to use. It makes the sounds of scanning, but nothing results from it. My friend tells me that the light that typically goes across the bed of the scanner is only very dimly lit on each edge. Is there something else I need to set to make it scan properly? Or did I get a damaged scanner? Iʼd appreciate any feedback and feel free to e-mail me off list at donnafsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks. Donna
