New discovery.  Scanning new images both on colour and grey scale respectively
scan resolution 75
full range

1) convert all images (colour) to .pdf file.  It is OK without problem  No 
warning popup
2) convert all images (grey scale) to .pdf file.  Problem occured.  3 same 
images lying side-by-side on each page.  Also no warning pop-up
