Kodak Digital Science 2500D Path-Through Scanner Questions & Answers
Kodak 2500D error
I have had the same problem. That error represent a document still in the scan path. You will probably find there is no paper in the scanner. I tried this and it works every time. On the top of the scanner there is an access door. You will find this just above the discharge rollers. Open that door and either blow air in the compartment or blow hard using your mouth to clear dust. Close the door. That should resolve the problem. It is my guess that dust collects on sensors and the scanner is tricked into thinking there is paper in the path.
KOdak 2500 D -- cannot find target device
Go to Kodak's website and download the scan verification tool (the SVT), and see what it tells you. I use the 2500D with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller, and a 50-50 pin SCSI Cable. I use the twain driver from Kodak's website and paperport 9 software. This combination seems to work.
"Warning Clean Roller"
Well, If you get this message you should reset the cleaning counter.
When this message occures, push both arrow buttons below the display at the same time to reset the counter.
Happy scanning !
When scan job is sent a start failure error comes on the display
Don't worry about the clean roller message. It is just a reminder much like your scheduled maintenance light that appears in your car.
Start Failure can occur for a number of reasons. When you get a start failure message close your scanning software and reopen it. Sometimes your connection may degrade if left idle. If that doesn't work shut down the scanner and pc. Turn on the scanner and wait until it is fully initialized before turning on the PC. These steps have resolved that problem for me. Lacking a manual, I just try things. Good Luck
Line on far right of scanned documents
Hi,
Most likely the scanner has dirt on the glass that is over the imaging array or the glass may be scrached. If the glass is scratch, the imaging CCD array need to be replaced. If you do not scan the rear of your documents, you can swap the upper with the lower in the case that one is scratched.
The imaging array are the green long bars, one at the bottom of the paper path halfway inside the scanner and the other is above it. Look closely for a small spot of black toner or dirt stuck
on the glass. Take a soft cloth, wet it with water or alcohol if needed and clean the glass.
Pass you finger over the glass, try to feel if all of the toner or rubber residue has been removed.
You might try looking at the specific area were your documents image is getting the line. It will
help you pinpoint where you should clean. CAREFULL not to push on the glass as this
might break it. Hope this helps.

Kodak 2500 scanner tires
Several years ago, Kodak stuck it to the owners of Kodak scanners. A simple, inexpensive consumable, tires, were taken off the market as a cheap thing to buy and they made it part of a care kit which just sent the price sky high.
If you own a 2500 Kodak scanner you can replace the retard tires with #13 O rings. They can be purchased from any Home Deport, Lowes....You will need a total of 12 O rings and that will cost you less than a buck. They work!!! I have been using them without incident for 2 years.
