The forums suggest that it may be a known issue with the scanner and Epson can repair but I don't have a convenient service department so have to live with it. As far as I can determine the problem lies with the top unit which is used when doing transparency scans rather than reflective. Issue: The preview scan will often fail and produce a flashing red light on the power switch. Scanner gives good quality scans of negs but my unit does have an annoying issue. I just needed to make some cuts to the edgeĪnd then tape the edge to give a snug fit on the lens. The Paxiscope doesn't have a lens cover but I found that using aĬontainer worked just fine.
