Scanning CD's

[Bobb]

I am having some trouble when scannin most CD's. The scanner, (a Manhattan CCD 80) does not read the UPC in the case. Is this a normal problem? When I remove the back from the case it works fine.
Expiring mind wants to know...

Hi Bobb,

This sounds like a hardware problem to me. I would try little experimentation, varying distance and angle of scanning - sometimes light reflects off shiny case and prevents readout.

Changing batteries if scanner is cordless may help too.

But I have never experienced persistent problems like that with any devices I've dealt with.

Thanks,
I am thinking it mat be the settings I am using for another program. I will report if this solves the problem. (It is a USB scanner so not batteries are involved.)
