Line on Scans LIDE 400

[StampMan]

My CanoScan LIDE 400 has a vertical line that has appeared less than a year after purchase. A test scan is attached. This is my second CanoScan LIDE 400 that has developed this exact problem. Since the first scanner was several years old I assumed it simply wore out. I would appreciate ideas on how to resolve this issue. I use Image Capture software. Could it be that I need to download and install the program again? I also tried using the Canon IJ Scan Utility Lite and get the message shown (top image).

Hi,

If that line appears on every scan, I recommend reaching out to Canon support. The real time feedback of a live technical support call/chat would be very beneficial in this case.

You will need to register your Canon gear HERE to access additional support options.

We look forward to hearing from you.

I finally forked out the $19 to talk to tech support, and they determined that it is a hardware issue, not correctable by tech support. They have agreed to replace my scanner at no charge.
