Re: Twain

Have you tested the TWAIN driver in a Photo editor?
Irfanview have a good TWAIN interface. (Plus it is free, get the plug-ins).

Did you try running the scanner wizard in Acrobat if it has one?

I am not familiar with Acrobat, although I do know Omnipage Pro 15.
Omnipage has a Scanner Wizard you must re-run if the scanner driver is
changed.

Yes I do know how to uninstall the driver from the device manager.
Did all you suggested and still only have a WIA scanner in Acrobat.710 Pro
to choose from.
I get an message box during the toolbox install "stating an error
occurred while copying files".
I downloaded the latest uninstall executable and ran it.
I am now dumbfounded as to why I can not use a twain driver.
Maybe XP update did me in!!


TIA

Do you know how to get into the Device Manager?
Did you run the UNINSTALL on the Setup CD?

To get into the Device Manager, Start > Control Panel > System. Click
Hardware tab, then click Device Manager Button.

For the scanner to show in Device Manager you may have to turn on the
scanner. If the scanner is turned on, you should see Imaging Devices,
click the plus sign, Right click the CanoScan item, Uninstall. Turn off
the scanner, Reboot.

Now that the WIA driver is gone, you should be able to install the TWAIN
driver.

Thanks for trying.
Setup from the CD does not complete.
Failure.
Wia still showing up.
I even set the WIA service to manual.
Again TIA.

Twain drivers for my Canon 8600F are unavailable in Windows XP.
The scanner is identified but only as a WIA device.
If I try to scan into Acrobat 710 the WIA interface appears .I hit
scan and the GUI goes away with an error scanning stopped.
Any ideas?
TIA


1. Unplug the scanner from USB.
2. Insert the Canoscan Setup CD-ROM Choose uninstall the software.
2a. Remove the WIA drivers in device Manager. (If the uninstall does
not remove the WIA driver)
3. Install the Canon drivers from the Canoscan Setup CD-ROM that came
with the scanner.
Follow the instructions.

Choose the TWAIN driver if given a choice.
