That's normal. You should see the options in the first tab, and it should
list the source device as your scanner.

Or they all are. Those of us who make a living from photography take
the lists seriously. I've learned most of what I know about digital
photography from lists such as this, and like Rafe, want to see on

Try changing the focus option in Vuescan to "Always" instead of auto or

I have to agree with the Dell Tech. What I would suggest is

Are you actually expecting to scan to a folder on a CD that you haven't
