Yes. - I am only having trouble right at start up. I think I should power on
the 5400 first, and then start the program that runs it. Sometimes I start
the program before it is fully warmed up, and the program thinks that it
isn't connected to my computer. Also, there are several different ways I can
use the machine. Right now, I am using it from Photoshop 7. That is, I start
with the Photoshop 7 program, go to "import" and tell it to import the image
from the 5400 scanner (which it somehow knows is attached to my computer)
Then it (PS 7) brings up the scanner software and tries to scan something
with it. - If all else is ready, it will work OK, and do it.....But if
anything isn't ready yet, it will give me some kind of error message, such
as, "Your scanner isn't connected to your computer. - Please check your
connections." And I don't know whether this error message is coming from the
scanner software, or from PS7, or from Bill Gates. (Windows) - I hate error
messages for this reason. And because they don't use the same vocabulary
that the help files use. Bill Gates was very careful to not hire anyone to
write error messages that spoke the same language as the people he hired to
write the help files.....And, he housed these people in separate buildings,
and, if he ever got word that anyone from one of the two groups ever was
caught talking to someone from the other group, he fired them
immediately.....:^)
