** Please note X-post ** Hi, I am about to start assisting a photographer to set up a Heidelberg Linoscan 1400 Scanner under Windows XP. Obtaining the SCSI II card should be straightforward (but not necessarily cheap) but given the age of this scanner we are having trouble locating any...

Hi, I'm looking for a scanner (or maybe it's the software only?) to auto-capture the photographs with the preset resolution settings, with one scan. Example, I placed 4 photographs on a A4 flatbed scanner, I pressed a button to scan, it should automatically churned out 4 pictures in JPEG with 300...

I am evaluating a Canon LIDE 35 and find that if I try to scan color at 600 dpi or higher, the system locks up and I have to reinstall the Canon Toolbox software. I scanned the same image on my Visioneer 4400 at 600 dpi with no problem but it will lock up at 73% completion if I scan at...

I am considering getting a card scanner for professional networking during a career transition. My cards are getting unmanagable; regardless if whether I organize them by organization or person, there will be some hunting around. Better to be able to search an electronic database. I've listed...

I get an error message that, when Googled, tells me the stepping motor is not functioning. When I turn the scanner on, it sounds like it is trying to digest bits of broken metal, so I imagine that it is hardware related. Is it possible or financially feasible to repair this stepping motor? ...

I want to scan some 35mm slides. Lovely pictures, so want quality, to be able to create slide shows using powerpont etc rather than old projector. Am I best to try to pick up a second hand on e-bay or is it like digital cameras where 2 year old technology is obsolete? Plustek Optic Film 7200i...

I get the "Cannot communicate with scanning device" message after I have downloaded photos from my Intel PC camera and removed it. I have used both Intel software and the windows camera and scanner wizard with the same result. The problem does not exist if I leave the camera plugged in. ...

I'm thinking of buying this Canon flatbed scanner that also does slides and negatives. It says up to 4800x9600 dpi resolution. How does that resolution compare to a digital camera in mp? It doesn't say optical resolution in the ad so I am guessing this is just interpolated resolution right and...

I am looking for driver for Microtek Scanmaker 3600. The original CD that comes with it is missing, so I went to Microtek's ftp site - ftp://ftp.microtek.com/microtek/pcfiles/ - looking for one. I remember that the driver for Scanmaker 3600 has the name of drv_sw5** (stand for Scan Wizard 5) so I...

My recently-purchased Dell Dimension 8400 computer (WinXP) came with a Dell 942 printer/scanner. The only scanning software that seems to have come with it is a "Scanner and Camera Wizard" that offers less control over the scanning process than PaperPort did with my old HP ScanJet 4c scanner. What...

Does anyone know where I might be able to download a Windows XP driver for the Astra 3400? I have the USB version. UMAX doesn't have it online, but instead requires that owners buy a CD. Mine is in storage, besides, the driver won't work on anything else, so I don't see why UMAX would object to...

For what it's worth, I just returned this scanner and will not ever buy another Microtek product -- not because of the product, but because of the lack of clear documentation. Lots of PDF files, but no "real" instructions or descriptions of the features for this one. I won't bash Microteck, since...

I've owned three scanners and every one has had a haze under the glass. I take it this is normal, since every one I've had smokely glass. What is it? Does it degrade the photoimage?

I'm a beginner using an ArtixScan 1800f - SilverFast - Photoshop to proof and print a large collection of color and black and white negatives. I've no idea where to start in choosing output types, grey , grey16, 12 bit color, 48 bit, etc... or how to arrive at profiles that do justice to the many...

I am considering purchasing the Nikon Coolscan 5000 when is becomes available in the US. It requires a USB 2 connection. Presently I have only USB 1 ports on my computer and run Windows ME. Can I purchase a USB 2 card for my computer and continue to run Windows ME? Thanks, Norman Perry

I've been struggling to fully understand the poor color representation of my scanned and later printed color photos. After looking at the printer end of the process I'm now looking at the scanner. I recently scanned genuine Pantone color samples of pure cyan, magenta and yellow and then used...

I have an UMAX Astra 610P scanner, and I can't use it anymore; every time I load Vista Scan to scan something, as the scanner is about to "warm up", the light barely moves and I get a message saying "Please unlock your scanner!". The fact is, it is not locked and has never been. I'm using Windows...

I have, since the early 1960s, taken and collected about 8,000 colour slides (35 mm.), mainly of my family growing up, and now I want to scan these into my computer and put them onto a CD. It's all because I started my family history about twenty years ago and now don't want to lose...

Can anyone help? Have purchased a Canon Lide50 scanner which has Adobe Photoshop Elements bundled. The Supplied CD has part no FB6-5342. Software requires a Serial Number to install, but there is no sign of any such number anywhere in supplied packaging or documentation. Canon have referred me to...
