Hi Graeme.

I just discovered only two days ago that you can scan using Notes on the iPhone.
It is in the menu within Notes and can produce a PDF document.
Then email it to your Mac if necessary.

Hi Tony,
I had a somewhat similar problem with a scanner on the Canon multifunction.  I 
now use Vuescan for scanning and it works seamlessly.

Re: [WAMUG} Scanner.

[Graeme Winters]

Hi Tony
I have a Canon Maxify and stopped using the scanning feature some time ago as I 
found the result with B & W scans to be of poor quality
In more recent times I have used my IPhone to photograph documents and the 
results have been outstanding

Cheers

Graeme

Re: [WAMUG} Scanner.

Hi Tony

Because that issue could be very specific to that Epson product,
I reckon look up Epson Australia and email their support department.

Re: [WAMUG} Scanner.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Hi Guy’s

I would like to know if any of our Members have had a problem with a Photo 
Scanner?

I have an Epson Perfection 4870 Photo Scanner and until recently I was able to 
scan Negatives and Slides (Positives), for some reason I am only able to scan 
Photo’s, Colour or Black and White and Documents, I have a feeling that the 
lamp that the scanner uses to enable me to scan Negatives or Slides has died, 
would anyone know if that could be the problem.

I have spent almost a day trying to find information as to the problem without 
success.I actually downloaded another Driver,/ update, also without success. 
Tried the scanner with an Older Computer, that didn’t work either.

Previously when I was using the scanner a drop down box would show me the 
options available, ie: Positive. Negative. Text. Colour. Black and White.

Now all the drop down box shows: Text. Colour. Black and White. - Positive and 
Negative have disappeared.

Thank you

Kind Regards

Tony
Boddington.

Thanks Peter,

I’ll get one of those ELM327 from the AUS supplier and give it a try.
I’ll let you know if there are any problems.

Re: OBD2 Scanner

[Peter Crisp]

HI Walter, apologies to others this is a bit off course of a mac topic but for 
Walter’s request please see below.

I have successfully set up the ELM327 and using the iPhone 8 took these images 
(at the Google Drive link here). So this one works fine with a Wifi connection. 
Note the app I used “car scanner” is one of a number that works for ELM327 
units. Establish a Wifi connection to the unit and then follow your nose. Note 
the free instance I have I can only select 2 engine parameters to log. Probably 
enough given your earlier emails.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uXsMo_20AXZKs0UAD0T18Ih3qblssLM9

Let me know if any issues with accessing this. I am happy to go off-line and 
help you with this Walter. It is my hobby so if you want help just ask.

Regards


Pete

Re: OBD2 Scanner

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Walter, see the phrase in bold below for an ELM327 suitable for iPhone - 
there are many but note one of them uses WiFI for connectivity, the other 
(little blue one) uses Bluetooth for connectivity. Do a search on eBay using 
that phrase making sure you include iPhone in the search.

My son has a Hyundai and I will give it a shot this afternoon to see how it 
goes with my iPhone and let you know. 

Ebay search with this phrase: ELM327 OBDII OBD2 WiFi Car Engine Diagnostic Code 
Reader Scan iPhone Android IOS

Re: OBD2 Scanner

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Walter, yes I have used many of them previously. I currently have 3 
Volkswagens and they work well, but you must choose carefully for your car. For 
VW’s, I use the “OBDeleven” (Google it) device paired with iPhone or iPad. The 
OBDeleven OBD2 scanner is designed specifically for all VAG cars (Volkswagen 
Automotive Group - VW, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Seat branded cars all 
work with this one). I also have some cheap eBay generic (<$20) which will work 
on just about anything with an OBD port I believe. 

What car do you have?

They are useful to track live data - I watch exhaust gas temperatures while 
towing my caravan but ALL engine parameters can be tracked live.

Pete.

Good morning,

One that displays fault codes and engine live data.

Re: Canon scanner

[Philippe Chaperon]

Hi John & all, 

Short of buying a new scanner, if your Canon TS6060 is still working you could 
use the venerable VueScan software which covers virtually all scanners you can 
think of. I have checked VueScan for its Canon Driver and the TS6060 is in 
their list. 

I have been using VueScan for many years now and it has worked with all my 
previous scanners without fail. The software is regularly updated.

Kind regards,  
Philippe dit la Grenouille ...🐸

I spent a lot of time trying to rectify the issue.
I eventually emailed Canon.
They told me that they were no longer updating software for that printer.
So it was no longer keeping up with the Mac OS updates.

So I bought an Epson printer which I have used ever since.

Re: Canon scanner

[Neil Houghton]

Hi John, Hi Alan,

Yes, like Alan, I also use Image Capture for both scanning and importing photos 
from my iPhone.

I find Image capture works well with an old HP PhotoSmart multifunction printer.

Occasionally the HP gets "lost" from the "Devices" sidebar and the main window 
shows "No camera or scanner connected".

Then I may need to connect/disconnect the USB connection and/or switch the 
device On/Off but, eventually, I always get it recognised again and then 
scanning proceeds as normal.

HTH


Cheers



Neil

Re: Canon scanner

[Alan Smith]

Hi John

A possible work around. The macOS app Image Capture may work.  This will bypass 
the built-in Canon software.

Image Capture worked with my obsolete Lexmark when its software was no longer 
available. I now have an Epson scanner which works very well, but I prefer to 
use Image Capture. I also use Image Capture for importing photos from my iPhone 
and a Samsung Galaxy.

Canon scanner

[John Thompson]

Hello group,

I am having trouble (in fact, can’t get any joy) scanning with my Canon Pixma 
TS6060 Multifunction printer.  Have tried installing new drivers, checked the 
Canon info site and generally spent half the day trying to get a scan from the 
printer to the Computer.  All to no avail.

Have the latest Os installed and everything else works, including the printer,  
but not the scanner.

Has anyone had any experience with this type of machine.

Regards

Re: Canon MX340 Printer/Scanner/Copier free to good home

[Peter Curtis]

Hi Stephen
No worries enjoy the new printer!
I’m sure others on this site can give more details on VueScan than I. 
Kind regard

[Stephen Chape]

Hi Peter.

I have not come across VueScan.
If they write their own drivers perhaps it would be OK.

But I now have a new Epson printer so quite happy.
The Epson scanning software is more user friendly than my older Cannon anyway.
It also uses less space on my desk and has a 100 sheet paper cartridge (that I 
never had).

Hi Stephen
Excuse me if this is ridiculous as I’m not a guru at all, but shouldn’t you 
still be able to scan via VueScan, I never use the printers software always 
choosing VueScan instead for my scanning on whatever printer?
Kind regards

Canon MX340 Printer/Scanner/Copier free to good home

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks.

The above Printer is in perfect condition.
But will no longer scan for Macs using High Sierra.
Canon confirmed that they no longer update drivers for this model.
So if you are not updating to High Sierra it is no problem.

It is complete with original Software Disks.
I also have an unused Colour Cartridge to go with it.

Stephen Chape

Hi All, 

For those who might be interested, I have checked Vuescan on El Capitan and it 
works very well, as expected.

Have a nice evening and a great Sunday.

Hi Rob
I purchased an OSX application Vuescan and it supports any brand of scanner. 
Good support and regular free updates.
Might be worth checking out.

Re: Preview: Import Image From Scanner ... dock icon?

[Alan Smith]

Terrific!  Thanks Daniel

Another one of those forgotten standard little apps and utilities I haven’t 
opened since I got my first Apple computer.

May also be useful for importing those odd camera shots that don’t need the 
full iPhoto treatment (which is now becoming tedious!).

Thanks again
Alan

Preview: Import Image From Scanner ... dock icon?

[Alan Smith]

I have just installed an Epson Perfection V37 scanner on my OSX Mavericks iMac. 
 It works (finally!) but I find it a bit tedious and time consuming to operate 
using the Epson software.

The OSX standard 'Preview > File > Import from Scanner' process may be more 
suitable for occasional use.   It would be nice to have a Dock icon to use as a 
shortcut to the depths of the Preview menu system.   (Or via the similar 
'System Preferences > Printers and Scanners > Epson V37' route.)Is this 
possible?Is so, then how is it done?

Re: Epson Printer Scanner problem

[Graeme Winters]

Many thanks for the tip Rod

I had not tried that approach
I have done so and it works fine
Problem solved but still curious as to why I cannot scan direct from the Epson 
as before
However if that cannot be cured you have provided an easy solution
Thankyou

Re: scanner & image capture

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Gary,

This could be a (old) hardware issue; or it could be incorrect operation of 
your software.

What software are/were you using successfully to scan using this Scanner in OS 
X 10.6.8?
Were you always just using Image Capture?
I think the software that came with this model scanner was back in OS 8.1 days 
Epson TWAIN, Epson Scanner Monitor.

When you Open Image Capture.app - In the Image Capture window, Under DEVICES - 
SHARED, does the Epson 610 Scanner show?

You are connecting the Scanner directly to a USB Port on the Mac - not 
connected through a USB Hub?

The Scanner has a error light, is the light 'flashing' after you connect it to 
the computer's USB port? 
Note: The scanner will turn off the fluorescent lamp if it does not receive any 
commands from the computer within 10 minutes.

To Isolate the issue: Standard Checks are: 
Turn the Scanner ON.
1. Applications > Utilities > System Profiler (in OS X 10.6.8)
If the Epson scanner appears: The scanner is detected by the Mac, therefore the 
issue is related to the Mac OS, software, or the driver installation.

2. If the Epson scanner does NOT appear: There is a physical communication 
issue as the scanner is not detected on the USB Bus. 
Check the data cable connections again.

A)  As the System Profiler does not update itself quickly, if you reconnect the 
data cable you should allow it a few minutes to update.
B)  If this fails, disconnect all other USB devices and restart the Mac with 
only the Epson scanner directly connected to a port on the Mac.
C)  Epson also recommends changing the data cable for a different, 
known-working cable. 

If the Epson scanner is not detected in the System Profiler, test the scanner 
on a different computer (Mac or Windows) where possible.
 Allow the System Profiler a few minutes to update after reconnecting 
the device or restart the Mac.

If you are still unable to scan when using a different computer;  if it is 
worth the time & cost to test the connection on the scanner, take it to an 
Epson Service Centre.


Cheers,
Ronni

Is it likely to be a (old ) hardware issue.

Re: scanner & image capture

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Gary,

How old is the scanner?
Could be a driver issue; check you are using the latest driver for the scanner.
In Applications > Utilities -  'Epson Scan Settings'; check the settings are 
correct.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: slide scanner

[Peder Kristensen]

Hi All,

You could look into the Plustek film scanners. For info see 
http://www.filmscanner.info/en/PlustekOpticFilm7600i.html
and http://digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod6224.htm

You find other sites as well.

May be someone in group have some experience with the Plustek range?

Cheers,
Peder

We have a Canon 8800F although I believe there is a more recent model - maybe 
9000F. It has a special slide (transparency) mode (four at a time) as well as 
regular flatbed scanning. It comes with Photoshop Elements including a plug-in 
to drive the scanner.

We bought it mostly because of its ability to scan slides, which it does 
extremely well. The flatbed scanning, especially of photographic prints, is 
also high quality.

It works with the Mac "out of the box" although look for the Mac icon on the 
packaging to be sure (I suppose there could be a Windows-only model).

There are cheaper scanners, but the quality can be very poor. My partner's 
sister bought a cheap brand and when it scanned slides the results were 
absolute rubbish - the scanned version looked nothing like the original. It was 
so bad that she eventually just discarded it and bought a Canon.

Re: Photo and Slide Scanner

Hello Everyone,

We have a slide scanner which we can never get to work.  Can anyone
recommend a photo/slide scanner (preferably not too expensive)?  It would
be good to get rid of those shoe boxes of photos in my wardrobe!

Re: Photo and Slide Scanner

[Manzie Greg]

Hello Bill

Most will work very well if you use third party software like Vuescan instead 
of the out of the box provided version.

The pro version costs about $80, but is worth every penny as you get upgrades 
free for life.

http://www.hamrick.com/

Silverfast is very good too but less economical as you must buy a licence to 
suit your hardware and pay again if you change.

http://www.silverfast.com/scanner-software/en.html

As far as the scanner itself goes, for both slides and prints it's hard to beat 
the Epson V700. But thats top of the line. A second hand Epson with vuescan 
could be a cheaper option for a professional outcome. They have other models 
too.

Re: brother A3 printer/scanner

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Gary

That's a great price! Well below it's cost from most wholesalers. (They list
the RRP on it at $529). I can't even buy it for that price from a
wholesaler.

I've got clients with quite a few Brother printers and they all work very
well with the software, even on Wireless.
I've got one client with the MFC-6890CDW (as the 6890CDW does Duplex
printing at A4 which they wanted), and it runs wirelessly very well.
No problems with it or the software, so would assume that unit would be the
same.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: brother A3 printer/scanner

[Ray Forma]

Gary,

VueScan, the superior scanning software from <http://www.hamrick.com> will 
drive the Brother MFC-6490CN and the MFC-6490CW scanners. I assume you were 
looking at one of these models. VueScan is available in a 64-bit version if 
your Mac can handle that, or 32-bit version for less capable Macs.

If you just press the default buttons VueScan does an excellent standard job. 
I've been using Vuescan for more than 10 years with a big variety of Macs and 
Scanners with great results. In several combinations the official driver for 
the scanner no longer worked with the more up-to-date Mac and MacOS I was 
using. In one or two cases there was only a Windows official driver. VueScan 
came to the rescue every time.

VueScan, together with a reasonable colour-calibrated scanner, has saved me 
many hundreds that I used to spend on having material drum scanned. 

If you get VueScan then I strongly recommend you buy the Pro version (US$79.95) 
as you get lifetime upgrades, besides such extras as the ability to colour 
calibrate your scanner. About every fortnight VueScan has a new version, so 
lifetime upgrades are a good idea. Don't panic, I only upgrade about once a 
quarter.

Vuescan has endless bells and whistles, similar to PhotoShop. You have a steep 
learning curve if you want to use all of its features, but the first 
substantial VueScan manual will reduce that.

brother A3 printer/scanner

[gary dorn]

howdy all

I've been checking out the brother A3 printer/scanners. They come in 
couple of configurations.


A recent brochure from Harris Technology has the MFC 6490 A3 colour 
wireless MFP for $248.

A fairly good price.

I am particularly interested in  the A3 scanner part

We have a brother 130c, which is okay but often it doesn't  connect 
properly to either G4 ( 10.4.8), or iMac (10.6.6), it that even 
though the USB cable is plugged in all the time, its doesn't show up 
in either Image Capture or print dialogue boxes.


So my questions is

is the 6490 A3 mac drivers okay , and would they be better than the 130c

and does any one else have/use one- what do you think ?

thanks

Re: VueScan is finally working with Canon scanner

[Ray Forma]

Further to my email this morning I now have VueScan doing its usual excellent 
scanning.

For the record, this is what did the trick:

1 Found VueScan version 8.6.63 on a backup disk

2 Copied that version to a separate folder in my Applications folder

3 Launched that version and it worked

4 Quit the old version

5 Launched the current version of VueScan (9.0.24 x64)

6 It works!

7 Explain that?

8 Throughout the problem period Image Capture, as well as Canon's own Canoscan 
Toolbox happily scanned, but these apps don't have any of the scanning 
abilities of Vuescan.

VueScan no longer working with Canon scanner?

[Ray Forma]

Are you a VueScan user, and do you use a Canon scanner? If you have the current 
version of VueScan (9.0.24 x64), can you still scan? Since I installed the 
current version of VueScan it still launches fine, but refuses to scan.

I do realise that you have to set the current 64-bit version of VueScan to 
32-bit mode for it to work with the current Canon driver. Canon still has not 
updated its driver to a 64-bit version.

MacPro 5,1; MacOS 10.6.7; CanoScan 9950F scanner; USB cable connection; 9950F

Re: Canon MP640 as a scanner

[Merv Bond]

Hi Rosie
For what it is worth I have an Epson which is wireless but I gave up on 
that function because when I was printing a three or four page document 
it would inevitably drop out. The printer is now connected by cable to 
my modem and is available to my iMac and my wife's iBook, both being 
wireless to modem.

Cheers
Merv

Thank you for your suggestion to use vuescan.

I downloaded the vuescan program, and tried it out, but the same problem

the printer but not the scanner - but even the Canon techs can't give me
that answer). Perhaps my installation disc is corrupted (or possibly
missing a file) - my opinion, not Canon tech's suggestion.

I will keep the vuescan program on my hard drive, as it may come in
helpful when I buy my next printer/scanner, which will least likely be
another Canon (I might return to Epson, which I had before buying the
MP640).

Again, thanks so much for your supportive suggestion. It is very much

Hopefully, list members will be able to provide information about a
good MFP unit with good scanning functions. Alternatively, if
possible, before buying another printer (particularly Canon), try to
see the model that you want, actually set up to a Mac, and see all
functions working as you would wish, before parting with your
hard-earned cash.

Re: Canon MP640 as a scanner

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Rosie

Did you try Apple's Image Capture. (in Applications folder)
I've sometimes found that wireless scanners which won't show up under the
manufacturers own software, work under Image Capture perfectly. (And
sometimes even better).

I also found with some clients the Canon scanner software had to be
installed in specific order for certain things to work.
The Epson's were a little like that too, but not so much (in that you had to
make Sure Epson Scan Utility saw your scanner wirelessly and not via the
cable).

They can be a bit fiddly, but once set up work very well.

Hope something there helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Best value wireless multifunction printer/scanner for Mac?

[Steven Knowles]

At risk of asking a dumb question due to the multitude of options, I need to 
grab a (preferably wireless but can hook into TC if not) multifunction office 
printer / scanner. Not so bothered about a fax function - who uses fax these 
days - but it'll probably have that anyway.

Printing volume will be minimal, so will scanning for that matter, but just 
need one around since my HP Officejet 7210 died.

Interested in views on the best Mac-friendly brand available at the moment. 
Anyone know what Choice recommended in their Multifunction printer report? I'll 
buy it if not.

Cheers, Steven

[FOR SALE] Brand new HP Photosmart B109a (Printer/Scanner/Copier)

[Neil Houghton]

Hi All,

I have a brand new unopened HP Photosmart B109a colour printer for sale
which also scans, copies and works with Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 & 10.6.

More info here:
http://store.apple.com/au/product/TX973X/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MQ&mco=MTU0Njg2NzU


I am in Albany, in case anyone down here is interested, but I am heading up
to Perth tomorrow and will be in Perth over Thursday 29th to Sat 1 May - I
will bring the printer up with me - so if anyone is interested we could
arrange collection/delivery.

Since it is unused/unopened, I'm thinking $100 sounds reasonable (I think
this is what Chris S offered the same printer for, back in December) -
however, I could be open to reasonable offers, in this ballpark.


Cheers,






Neil

Hi Gordon,

What problems have you had with PSE6 with 10.6.2?  My copy seems to work fine.

I have about 150 Kodachrome 35mm slides to digitise and add to iPhoto.
The best machine seems to be the Epson V700 because 12 slides can be done at

I need a flat bed scanner for other work so I don't want a pure photo scanner.
It comes with Photoshop Elements 6, (no good for 10.6.2) and 10.3.8 or later

Re: Epson Perfection Scanner 1670

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Ian

Did you try my suggestion of uninstalling the scanner software completely
from the Epson installer, restarting then just trying Image capture with the
"pre built in" TWAIN drivers?
(It was from my long email yesterday 6.03pm, so you may have missed it.)
Bit of a long shot, but at least one last thing to try before writing it
off. :o)

Kind Regards
Daniel

Epson Perfection Scanner 1670

[Ian Reid]

Good Evening All

I think I have managed to understand what several people have been  
trying to get me to understand. When I looked in the correct Library  
(Hard disc, not User) I found that, among the Twain Data Sources,  
there were two versions for the 1670. One was for the 2.7.7, the other  
was for 1.2.2. I eliminated the latter and tried another scan.


Opening the application I got the same announcement that it was"  
2.77A". The scanner went through its routine of light and noise and  
produced exactly the same result as before - a blank sheet.


Kevin Lock kindly tried my scanner and software with his earlier  
version of MacOSX and got exactly the same - a blank sheet.


I think my best solution is to look for another scanner.

Thank you all, immensely

Kind regards

Ian Reid

Hi Ronni ,


Hi Bob,

Oh my goodness!  ... I had just uninstalled the drivers for the 1670

I always check before I post to WAMUG that the information I am giving

Re: Epson Perfection Scanner 1670

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Ian

Nope, no punishment from me,.. I'm not the WAMUG police :o)

Just out of interest, did you run the uninstall from the downloaded
"installer" itself?

I only ask, as sometimes not all the installed files will have a name that
relates to "epson" or "scan", sometimes it may have a file name like
sx718a.blahblah and you'd never find it. (especially if it's buried in
multiple subdirectories. So manually removing them can sometimes miss
something.

(Sorry Ronni, not querying your removal techniques or suggestions - just
trying to cover all the bases) :o)

If you run the uninstall from the installer, then that way everything
"should" be removed. The downloaded ones will also allow you to uninstall it
as well. 
Then you can uninstall the whole thing, reboot and without installing
anything else just see if it works. That way if there's an "Apple Epson"
TWAIN driver, it may kick in and work.

The reason I'm asking this, is that within 10.5 in one of the sub Library
folders there is an "EPSON Scanner" device plugin which I have an idea is a
generic TWAIN driver for "most" Epson scanners, ie the "plug it in and it
just works!" ideas. If Apple have their own one and it's conflicting with
another one, then this could be stopping it from working.
By uninstalling the Epson one, restarting, then letting the Apple one have a
go at it, you'll then know if it works or not.

If it doesn't then you can install the 2.77a installer a fresh and (all
going well) you should end up with the "newest" Epson TWAIN driver.

Hope all that makes sense. :o)

Kind Regards
Daniel

Ian ,
are we talking about the same thing ?

Is your installed version 273 on the Twain driver found at :


Hard drive - Library - Image capture - Twain Data source - Epson  
Perfection 11670.ds



Because , I just downloaded from the link that Ronni supplied




for Mac OSX 10.5 and it installed version 2.7.7  twain driver for me ! ?

YES but if it's a 10.5.x issue then you'd think in theory it should  
do the
same thing. To double check it you'd need to run it on two  
different "other"
machines, one running 10.5.x and one running say 10.4.x. If it  
doesn't work
on all of them, then you'd assume it should be the hardware. If it  
doesn't
work on both 10.5.x machines but does work on 10.4.x machines you'd  
assume

it's the software.
That would be the true test as I see it.

YES !But that said

there has been a lot of work done with the software by some

The test at Kevin's tomorrow should narrow the field .

With hardware it's not unusual for a particular model to experience
similar faults

of them .

But hey,..it could be a hardware fault too, in which case,
weird,...that it
happens all at the same time. ;)
By all means I'm happy to be proven wrong, I was just offering

Just to add to this for your interest.
I was out doing another job for a client today, which got fixed

quickly, so they asked me to look at their scanner which had

Lo and behold, it was an Epson Perfection 1670.
Running a new iMac with 10.5.6. Would come up with a message  
that it

cannot
recognise the document after the preview scan and just show the
preview as
white with nothing on it.
Trashed the preferences, restarted.
Updated to 10.5.8.
Repaired permissions.
Uninstalled and reinstalled from a downloaded driver.
Removed and checked TWAIN drivers.
Checked Image capture.
Still the same, no joy.

So it's not a hardware fault with your scanner,


What makes you so sure of that ... ?

what if the sensor has say a broken wire and simply cannot send  
the

signal
or sends only a very low level signal to the software ?

so you can rule out taking
it to get looked at ;o) (And thanks for the heads up on  
ServiceWest,

hadn't
realised that.)

A lot of googling didn't really turn up anything useful at all.
Unfortunately the client had to go out so we ran out of time to  
keep

looking
at it.

I just had an idea driving back, which you may want to try.
From the downloaded update, uninstall the drivers. (When you

Hi Kevin

Yes if it works with 10.4.11 then one would "assume" it's more an issue with
10.5 and the TWAIN drivers installed.

Re: Epson Perfection Scanner 1670

[KEVIN Lock]

We here are running 10.4.11, so if the 1670 gets up it should be a 
conflict with 10.5?


Whew; I got dizzy scrolling through all those messages!

Kev






YES but if it's a 10.5.x issue then you'd think in theory it should do the
same thing. To double check it you'd need to run it on two different "other"
machines, one running 10.5.x and one running say 10.4.x. If it doesn't work
on all of them, then you'd assume it should be the hardware. If it doesn't
work on both 10.5.x machines but does work on 10.4.x machines you'd assume
it's the software.
That would be the true test as I see it.

Re: Epson Perfection Scanner 1670

Another thought is where are you downloading the drivers from?

I had a problem with a HP scanner recently and so downloaded the  
latest drivers from hp.com.au and it still did not work. I found a  
much later version on the hp.com USA site that solved the problem.


A look at epson.com.au gives
Epson Scan 2.7w

choices)

Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v2.77A
Intel-based Macs with OS X (v10.4.4 - v10.5.x), PowerPC Macs with OS X

so you can rule out taking
it to get looked at ;o) (And thanks for the heads up on ServiceWest,  
hadn't

realised that.)

A lot of googling didn't really turn up anything useful at all.
Unfortunately the client had to go out so we ran out of time to keep  
looking

at it.

I just had an idea driving back, which you may want to try.
From the downloaded update, uninstall the drivers. (When you open up  
the
update it will be set to custom install, but if you click that (in  
the top

left hand corner) you can choose Uninstall.
So ran that and uninstall their drivers.
The restart and just try scanning without installing anything.
(I'm just wondering if there is a "default" TWAIN driver installed  
which is

conflicting with the Epson one.)
If doesn't work at all, I'd then try installing it straight from the  
CD that
came with the Scanner, rather then the update. Just to see if it  
makes a

difference.

See how you go with that. Will be interested to hear back.


Just thought I'd let you know.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Not saying that's always the case, just something to consider.

Hi Daniel

ServiceWest gave up repairing Epson some time ago. PrintCom, in Mt

That is interesting Daniel. I did try to use Image Capture
immediately
after failing with Epson Scan.

However, I have downloaded and installed Vuescan and still obtain
pristinely blank scans. It looks like I trot along to a repairer  
with

the 1670 under my arm.

I will let you all know the result.

Re: Epson Perfection Scanner 1670

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Ian

Just to add to this for your interest.
I was out doing another job for a client today, which got fixed very
quickly, so they asked me to look at their scanner which had stopped
working.
Lo and behold, it was an Epson Perfection 1670.
Running a new iMac with 10.5.6. Would come up with a message that it cannot
recognise the document after the preview scan and just show the preview as
white with nothing on it.
Trashed the preferences, restarted.
Updated to 10.5.8.
Repaired permissions.
Uninstalled and reinstalled from a downloaded driver.
Removed and checked TWAIN drivers.
Checked Image capture.
Still the same, no joy.

So it's not a hardware fault with your scanner, so you can rule out taking
it to get looked at ;o) (And thanks for the heads up on ServiceWest, hadn't
realised that.)

A lot of googling didn't really turn up anything useful at all.
Unfortunately the client had to go out so we ran out of time to keep looking

Hi Ian,

When you trashed the older Driver as you said below, did you restart  
your computer?
Then install the new  EPSON Scan Utility and Scanner Driver (TWAIN)  
v2.77A

The 2.77A should work in Tiger or Leopard.

I had Version 273. So I downloaded V.277a, opened the dmg and

after failing with Epson Scan.

However, I have downloaded and installed Vuescan and still obtain
pristinely blank scans. It looks like I trot along to a repairer with
the 1670 under my arm.

I will let you all know the result.

I had Version 273. So I downloaded V.277a, opened the dmg and clicked
on the Installer, assuming that it would uninstall V.273 first.  I
didn't, so I trashed the V.273 application, emptied the Trash and
clicked on the Installer once again. No luck! V.273 returned to
Applications folder. Running a scan still produces a blank sheet. The
only other mention of 'scanning' that I can find is the Reference

Opening Image Capture doesn't do much and clicking on the scanner

Hi Ian

I'd be hesitant to suggest taking it to a repairer without giving them a

a "standard" quoting fee these days, and some of them can be at least
$75-$100 just to look at it.
If you then consider that you can get a new scanner for around $150,  
it's

sometimes not worth it.
Not saying that's always the case, just something to consider.

ServiceWest are a repairer for anything Epson, so may pay to give them a
call tomorrow and see what they say - 9474 4990.

Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Daniel

ServiceWest gave up repairing Epson some time ago. PrintCom, in Mt  
Lawley  (9371 8600) do it now. They charge $80, plus any replacement  
parts, to look and repair.

Interesting :

I don't know how these work or what the connections are on the USB  
cable ,


but if you see the light in the scanner , and it moves from end to end ,
that leaves you with little else than the cable  ... I would think .

Have you swapped the usb cable ?

and can you try this scanner on another Mac ? any scanner that vuescan  
supports

so that you don't need to worry about drivers for the trial .

and if that also fails , can you borrow a scanner and try it on your Mac
... if that works I suggest a new scanner is the answer

Hi Ian

One thing also to note which happens with some scanners and software, is

other Application doesn't always get control of it.
For example, if you've just tried to use it with Epson Scan and found it
didn't work then opened Image Capture straight away it "generally" won't
always work. If you restart the computer and open Image Capture first (and

Ian ,
Is that a Perfection 1670

If so " Vuescan " supports that scanner .

There is a trial version you can download to see how it goes
available here : -  <http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html>

I use it exclusively because of all the options it gives the user .

Bob

Thanks Bob. That looks like the way to go.

Where can I find instructions on how to scan documents with my 1670 or  
do I need a replacement scanner? Your help would be much appreciated.

Hello Ian,

Did you have this version Scanner Driver 2.77A installed, says OS X  
10.5.x?


Thanks Ronni

I had Version 273. So I downloaded V.277a, opened the dmg and clicked  
on the Installer, assuming that it would uninstall V.273 first.  I  
didn't, so I trashed the V.273 application, emptied the Trash and  
clicked on the Installer once again. No luck! V.273 returned to  
Applications folder. Running a scan still produces a blank sheet. The  
only other mention of 'scanning' that I can find is the Reference  
Guide in the Documents folder.

Ian ,
Is that a Perfection 1670

If so " Vuescan " supports that scanner .

There is a trial version you can download to see how it goes
available here : -  <http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html>

I use it exclusively because of all the options it gives the user .

Bob



or do I need a replacement scanner? Your help would be much

Hi Ian,

		I would try a software title called VueScan. Has been around some  
time now and lists the Perfection 1670 as a supported scanner model.
