VueScan for Mac Publisher's description:

from Hamrick Software

Produces high-quality scans from flatbed scanners and film scanners — over 100 scanners supported.

If VueScan doesn't see your scanner on Mac OS X, first make sure that Apple System Profiler can see the scanner. If it doesn't, try powering off the computer, powering off the scanner, powering on the scanner and then powering on the computer. In addition, make sure Mac OS 9 / Classic is off.

If VueScan doesn't find your Canon or Epson scanner and if you're using an Intel Mac, try clicking on the VueScan icon while holding the control key, choosing "Get Info" and setting "Open using Rosetta".

Some older versions of the Canon MP-series software won't work if it's the non-English version. In this case, install the English version from the American download site at www.canon.com.

You can share one copy of VueScan among multiple Mac OS X users by putting the VueScan folder into a read-only folder somewhere on the hard drive. This will cause the default folder for each user to be that user's "Pictures" folder.

If you're using a Ratoc Firewire-SCSI adapter, you may need to configure one of the options. Try setting the time between the power on and the SCSI bus reset to 40.

If you're using the Ratoc USB->SCSI adapter, set up the adapter with the Ratoc utility to "Mass Storage" mode.

If you're using a SCSI scanner on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), have an Adaptec 2906 or 2930CU SCSI controller and your SCSI scanner isn't working properly, try the following commands in the terminal window:

* cd /System/Library/Extensions
* sudo mv Adaptec290X-2930.kext Adaptec290X-2930.kext.sav
* reboot the computer

To restore this change:

* cd /System/Library/Extensions
* sudo mv Adaptec290X-2930.kext.sav Adaptec290X-2930.kext
* reboot the computer

If VueScan still doesn't see your scanner, go into "System Preferences", "Accounts", then "Startup Items". Make sure nothing is being started that might be accessing the scanner (i.e. "Epson Scanner Monitor").

If you have a SCSI scanner but don't have a SCSI adapter, try using the Ratoc Firewire->SCSI adapter.

If you've installed the Umax software for a Firewire scanner on Mac OS X, you need to remove (or rename):

/System/Library/Extensions/UmaxFireWire.kext
(the name begins with Umax but might have a slightly different name)

If you're using a Canon LiDE 40 or LiDE 50 on Mac OS X, install the Canon software for the LiDE 35. These scanners are identical except for the outside plastic, and there's a universal binary driver for the LiDE 35 on www.canon.com.

If you're using a Canon LiDE 80 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and are having problems seeing the scanner or starting VueScan, try re-installing the Canon scanner drivers.

If you're using an Epson 2400/2450 on Mac OS X and are having problems with long startup times, try using the Firewire cable.

Make sure you haven't set "Show input menu in menu bar" in the "International/Input Menu" preferences.

If VueScan hangs with Firewire scanners, make sure OpenFirmware has "security-mode" set to "none". Other settings cause problems.

To use PIE (Pacific Image Electronics) scanners with VueScan, you need to first install CyberView X (not CyberView 32) in the default location. VueScan uses the CyberView X libraries to control the scanner.

To use the Epson Perfection 3170, 4180 or 4490 with VueScan, you need to first install the Epson software for this scanner.

If VueScan hangs when starting up, make sure that you don't have the International Input Menu turned on - this causes problems with VueScan. This is in the International system preferences.

Canon N-series and LIDE scanners are powered directly by the USB port. The USB port must provide a power supply of 500 mA. If you plug the scanner into the USB port on a keyboard or other USB device, the scanner may not work properly. Attach the scanner directly to a USB port on the computer or to a 500 mA self-powered USB hub. If you find that an N-series or LIDE scanner doesn't work with one of your USB ports, try plugging it into the other USB port.

If you're using a Microtech FireSCSI adapter, make sure that you're using SCSI ID 0 and that the SCSI termination is correct.

If you're using an Orange Micro 906F SCSI card, make sure it's upgraded to at least firmware version F1.35.
