need crooked scanner help
amazeer - February 7th, 2011 at 07:33 PM

Hi all, I've got a canon mp650 all in one. It prints square, but scanning docs to pdf they go out of alignment. Is there anything I can do? (other than send in a crooked resume)

other than try to guess a straight line when placing the doc on the glass

I'm sorry I've got no idea how to fix your scanner, but why are you scanning to pdf? As an alternate solution can you print it to pdf? Printing to pdf will improve the quality by a thousand and make your resume look much more slick.

There are a number of free pdf printer drivers around. At home I use 'doPDF' but I think a quick google would find a dozen.

I can print my resume to pdf but the other attachments I need to scan.
I've just about got a strip of masking tape "square" that should allow me to get it done. Just a pain in the arse. I'm hoping for a "turn this adjusting screw" response.

hahaha you know what? I've decided it isnt printing square and scanning is pretty close.

aaah crap. After all that effort of scanning in straight, it comes out at 9.5meg and the upload limit is 3. Bastard.
