I have an Epson 1660 Photo scanner. I use windows XP & have the 'smart panel' icon on my taskbar. Now if I click it I have started to get a smaller movable docker version of the 'smart panel' pop up at the top of the screen. How do I eliminate this extra small window? -- Thanks in...

Now you know what you get for $79. You live in a Throw Away Society: 1. buy it, 2. try it, 3. toss it, 4. go back to 1. I am at step 3 after three tries, last one was a 1260. After you run through this cycle a few times, perhaps you will raise your price level. If you keep doing that enough times,...

I have used my Epson 1660 Photo scanner many times before for scanning slides. Just now when I clicked on Smart Panel & clicked scan to file, it scanned & displayed my slides as if I were scanning a color picture. I started the scan again & then clicked manual but when the settings screen came up...

Using the HP 5550C with "DocScan PRO" software, I am not able to scan. The HP Software "Director" defaults requiring me to use it to scan and then save to "DocScan PRO". Any way of avoiding "HP Director" from booting up when I use the HP 5550C? Using "HP Director" only allows saving images in...

Anywhere Available? Thx for reply Steve

About a year ago I managed to install and make work my UMAX Vista S-12 under Windows 2000 SP2. I'm planning to move to a new harddrive now and made a fresh install of Windows 2000 SP3. However, having installed MagicScan 2.43 results in the following: preview works ok, but when I hit the "Scan"...

My HP 7450 often, but not always, produces scans of journal articles or timesheets that are muddy or have 1/4" black or grey blocks in pyramid patterns at the edges of figures or pages. Today it dropped the contents of a key block in a timesheet I was sending. HP has replace the ADF once and the...

Well, either age or XP have finally defeated my old UMAX S-6E. Half the time it will not park. *taps starts to play* I need a replacement. I mostly scan from books and personal artwork. Not really any photos, but I do want great resolution. Something around or under $200. I was looking at the...

I'm thinking of purchasing either HP 6110 Multi-function machine or Brother 5200c since they both have an automatic document feeder. The reason I want an ADF is that I sometimes scan like 10 pagegs at once, and I'd like to make those ten pages into a PDF format. I use Acrobat 5.0 Could anyone who...

I just got this a few days ago. It scans ok, but now I can't find how to get to the window where you choose the dpi setting and such. Or the help listing with all the topics and terms in alpha order. Not the smart panel I see that fine. I need the dpi setting window. I had it a few days go...

I have an Astra 2000P Umax scanner. B&W scan is OK. But when I do a colour scan, I get a yellow washout with green side margins. Is there anything I can do about this? TIA, Neo.

I have the Canon N670U scanner. I just went to Canon's website and downloaded the latest Scangear & ToolBox executables to update my system. When I try to run the executables, they fail because they are assuming that I have a "C:\" drive on my system. The executables are trying to automatically...

Has Canon improved on their software for the 9900F scanner? Initial reports of the scanner said that while the hardware is nice, the software needs improvement. I was wondering if Canon has issued any updates, and if those updates are worthwhile.

On Fri, 18 Jul 2003 09:43:14 +0800, "Click" found these unused words floating about: Every time I start to use my scanner an Epson 1660 Photo it starts by saying that it's warming up. If I'm only scanning one page it takes much longer to warm up than to scan the...

I recently got a Canon LIDE 20 for scanning family album pics and so on to a digital format. I can set the resolution to a max of 1200 dpi. This results in a *lot* of RAM being used and big file sizes. Now, I want these pictures to be of decent quality...but is 1200 dpi overdoing it? Also,...

I have a Lexmark X125 (All in One). When I scan with Abbyy Finereader OCR if I open the scanner settings, the option Autoamtic Feeder although marked appears greyed (so desactivated). If I select multiple pages scan, everytime I scan a second page I need to do it manually, the feeder works...

Hi, I have a question about scanners: Is a new/cheap scanner better than an old/expensive scanner? I am asking this question because my SCSI card controlling my HP6100C went bad. I am debating weather to get a new SCSI card or get a new scanner. I can get an Epson 1660 or an Epson 2400. ...

Hi, I have a question about scanners: Is a new/cheap scanner better than an old/expensive scanner? I am asking this question because my SCSI card controlling my HP6100C went bad. I am debating weather to get a new SCSI card or a new scanner like the Epson 1660 or Epson 2400. Any advise...

Hi, Has anyone successfully configured and installed an Agfa Scanner 1212p (parallel port) under Linux? According to the SANE homepage the parallel port version of this scanner doesn't seem to be supported. Are there alternatives to SANE? My system is:
