RE: filmscanners: Re: Umax scanners
It is so obvious a possible solution that we do not think of it most of the time until someone else suggests it. It also is counter to the way that we expect SCSI devices to work in such a basic way that we do not think of it or expect that if there is a bug in the SCSI setup it will be of a completely different nature and of a more complex sort. :-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Clark Guy Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 7:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: filmscanners: Re: Umax scanners HI, Laurie, et al!

Re: filmscanners: Re: Umax scanners
Wondering if the problem I am having is similar? Been using an epson 636 flatbed and recently hooked up a Minolta Dimage Scan dual.ll Both use Twain drivers the software on the Minolta will not open unless I pull the USB cable and reinsert it. Hmm! Would vuescan solve this,or is the solution lurking elswhere? Dave Small

Ed, does vuescan work with any USB scanners in Windows and if so, which ones? Also, do you (or does anyone on the list) know whether Plustek Optic Pro scanners are rebadged Umax or Microtek scanners? I'm still trying to find a cheap scanner which will work to scan A4 prints for profiling. So far all I know is HP and Canon printers don't work. :( Thanks in advance, Rob
RE: filmscanners: Re: Umax scanners
I have a HP 5200C USB (which HP gave me as a free replacement for my 5100 AFTER WARRENTY expired) that works great on Viewscan, so much better than the HP software it really is amazing. I used Viewscan with it the other day for some things that the HP software couldn't get right. I could not believe how good and how much faster it was at it's highest resolution. This was the first time I used Viewscan with the flatbed, and once again, I congratulate Ed on his software. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rob Geraghty > Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2000 8:11 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: filmscanners: Re: Umax scanners > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Most of Timo's mistaken impressions about scanning negatives > > come from his trying to use a UMAX PowerLook III scanner > > to scan negatives. > > Ed, does vuescan work with any USB scanners in Windows and if so, which > ones? > Also, do you (or does anyone on the list) know whether Plustek Optic Pro > scanners > are rebadged Umax or Microtek scanners? > > I'm still trying to find a cheap scanner which will work to scan A4 prints > for profiling. > So far all I know is HP and Canon printers don't work. :( > > Thanks in advance, > Rob > > >
