I think 25 mb is not too much to handle for any usb 2.0.</DIV><DIV>Why doesn't that computer scan on 600 dpi while the other one works?</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>The powersupply of the not scanning computer is a bit old and the powersupply of the scanning computer is new and very expensive.</DIV><DIV>Could it be that the power has to do with all this?</DIV><DIV><DIV>Could it be that an USB repeater cable&nbsp;is&nbsp;the solution?</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV></DIV> Sun, 08 Jul 2018 13:53:44 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Cable-length-for-scanner/m-p/247319#M24300 Peter_C 2018-07-08T13:53:44Z
