Epson Perfection Scanner 1640
Hi,
I have installed and reinstalled the software and the latest twain 5.06 software for the Epson scanner. The Epson Smart Panel comes up but when I try to scan a document there is a prompt indicating that the scanner cannot be detected or another application is using it, retry. It is a USB interface and the operating system is W98. There are 2 USB connections on the computer and the other USB connection has a Hub connected to it. Only one card reader is connected to it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Bert |

Any ideas would be appreciated. Bert Start by unplugging all the other USB devices and plugging the Epson 1640 scanner directly to the USB port on the computer. Then try scanning using the TWAIN interface via a Photo Editor such as free Irfanview. http://www.irfanview.com Get the plug-ins for Irfanview (necessary) if/when you download. In Irfanview FileSelect Source then FileAcquire. Or Photoshop Elements. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |

A long shot - don't they have a little lock button underneath? I think if the scanner is locked it gives a rather obscure message in the Smart Panel. Although my experience is with 2400 and 2480 scanners. |
