If your scanner is showing an ‘overload’ error, then it is likely that too much data has been sent to the scanner at one time. This can happen when scanning large documents or high resolution images.
The best way to resolve this issue is to reduce the amount of data you are trying to send to the scanner. This can be done by breaking up the document into smaller chunks, adjusting the dpi (dots per inch) setting, or reducing the size of the file if it is an image.
For most scanners, it is recommended to set the dpi to a lower setting of 300dpi or less when scanning documents. For images, a lower setting of 150dpi or less will usually suffice. Reducing the dpi setting will help reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to the scanner, allowing it to operate without overloading.
Another way to reduce the data load on the scanner is to reduce the size of the file. This can be done with the use of a photo editor program such as Photoshop or GIMP. In these programs, you can easily reduce the resolution of the image and save it as a smaller file size. This will also help to prevent overload errors when using the scanner.
If you are still encountering the ‘overload’ error after reducing the data load and adjusting the dpi settings, then it is likely that the scanner itself may be malfunctioning. In this case, it is best to contact the manufacturer for assistance. They may be able to troubleshoot the problem or provide a replacement scanner if the current one is faulty.
