I assume you have read the manual:
C-6704* When scanning an image, compression
process from scanner
to memory is not completed
within the specified time. Evolution
from scanner to page memory
is not completed within the
specified time. SVV is not
detected within the specified
time.
Image processing board
(IPB)
I/F board (IFB)
Image memory control board
(IMCB)
Overall control board (OACB
I would suggest a firmware re-load/upgrade. A have a look at "Compression mode" for the scanner. On or off?
