Hi to the original sender. Do you still have the CD to your scanner? The Epson Smart Pannel software is really not needed, but if you need to scan pics, you should install it. Good luck. Also make sure the scanner's driver is installed.Lino Morales Remember, friends don't let friends go to hell.

This is why, I think, we should not worry about things like whether pictures scan properly. Our major concern should be whether our scanner works properly with our optical character recognition programs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mystical Charm" <hambleto...@verizon.net> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, July 27, 2009 8:04 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] scanner help >I have to give a little background info in case it is needed to understand >my situation. > > About a month or so ago I had Windows 2000 and I used a Epson Perfection > 1670 scanner, which I still have and use.
