Twain error with canoscan 8400F - solution
The twain interface (ScanGearCS 10.220) out of the box of my new
canoscan 8400f did not work on my windows xp machine. I got error messages such as: - The twain interface is not working: reinstallation might help - rmslantc.dll not found. The solution is: Canon has hardcoded the lenght of the variable which holds the windows path in its twain interface. My path was too long: The twain interface ScanGear CS fails. I shortened the path to 702 characters: now the interface works. I suspect that the limit is at 768 characters (I have not tested that). So if your Canon Twain driver does not work on Windows XP (might be the same for win 2k): shorten the path. Othmar ) -- |

... ...I shortened the path to 702 characters: now the interface works. Egad!!!!! You have a directory path that's seven HUNDRED and two characters long? How many subdirectories? What are you calling these that takes so many characters? You'll find that lots of software would have problems with such enormously long paths. regards, Stewart DIBBS ======================================== Want to build your own scanner and digicam apps?

Twain error with canoscan 8400F - solution
Hi- I have this problem too. I just bought the scanner (same one) and I realy don't want to send it back, I did so much research before choosing this one! I'm not comfortable just deleting characters from a path- could you please let me know just what you entered (Or deleted since I'm sure it's shorter) for the working path? Thanks so much- wrote: Thanks for posting I had exactly the same problem. |

Such as C:\Canon. Then all the scanner files will have much shorter paths. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |
