I can try to help. What model scanner do you have? (I also have to ask if you tried turning it off and on since I work in IT )

I have Canon app on my phone. And as FreehanSolo said, have you tried rebooting? Every now and then I have to unplug my Canon. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Is this a general question or are you using your phone to scan cards? Just curious. ------------------------------- "I shall do my best." - Ben Stein https://www.ebay.com/usr/fpc2021 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn7sza8F5kxr3Sumem2OlLA Twitter Account - @FrozenPenguinC1

He's using the phone to process the output of a flatbed scanner. This process will yield acceptable images for the database (as opposed to a scanning app that captures the image with the phone's camera).

I figured that distinction was going to need to be made at some point in this thread.
