jim, i think you have to upgrade your device driver for your scanner since you mentioned that you're using WinXP.\n\nyou're scanner is not using the current device driver for WinXP so I suggest you find one that works.\n\nalthough your WinXP recognizes your scanner in its list of devices, the applications/software which use the scanner doesn't recognize the scanner.\n\ni also suggest you visit this website:\nhttp://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Scanners/Top_Solutions_4.html

Buying a all-in-1 machine is the best route.  You'll have warranty protection, updated features and drivers, and save some desktop space.\n\nFurthermore, the older scanners will no longer have drivers for Win XP and beyond, and no technical support whatsoever.

It should be in your Programs list on the Start Button inside the software for your scanner.... \nGood luck.

You need a software for scanning which usually comes with the scanner. It's realy easy to operate the softwares once you opened it. You'll also need a driver.

Aw crap, I know this one.\n\nCheck if your copier has a USB cable with it. Plug one end in to the copier, and the other end in to the computer. Your computer should say that it's detected new hardware. Hopefully, there will be a CD with it. Put that in the disk drive and a Set Up wizard should appear (if not, click on start, my computer, D: (default) and run). Follow the instructions on the wizard and there will be a manual in one of the "Read Me" files.\n\nReally, once the USB cable is connected, it should do pretty much everything else by itself, or tell you what you need to do.\n\nHope that helps. My printer/scanner didn't have a USB cable when I got it, so I had to buy one. If you also have to buy one, make sure you know exactly which one you need 'cause there's loads of different types.

None!  Get a printer and seperate scanner.  The printer part is usually not up to par.  Communication can be ambigous (talking to printer or scanner) although not as bad with Mac.  And come on, it's not that hard to scan an image and print it out.  When one breaks, you replace the broken one.

Sounds like you don't have a flat bed scanner, but the vertical scan provided by your Brother printer. You can tape or paste your photo to a sheet of paper and be careful and run it thru your Brother scanner (be careful you don't jam it up) Your Brother machine has the software installed that will guide you through the process. Your instruction book will help also.

1. uninstall of the driver\n2. go to control panel, system, device manager, see if you got any entry branching out, and has yellow or red marking on the icon, if yes, delete it.\n3. install the latest driver(make sure for the right win version) back\n4. restart pc\n5. plug the device in to usb port\nlastly i also have some bad experience with kodak easyshare software, so last resort is you do the above except 3 & 5 and restore your window to the day before you 1st install the software, then do 3,4,5.\nGood luck

ages since I've done this so you might have to do a bit of work yourself..\n\non the scanning program it should have a setting in the first column at the top of the screen to change the Twain driver or input device - check which one it is.. it probably says its your camera.. just use the pull down menu and change it to your scanner

Is your scanner a PS2 connection scanner? if yes, make sure it is connected to only the keyboard PS2 and not the mouse one. \nIf you have check and it is correct. You can try reset the handheld scanner. Normally if you have the manual. You can find a reset bar code. Scan it and you will heard some feedback from the scanner. \n(try a couple of different bar code to verify the error)\nAfter resetting, and still won't work.\nThen i guess you have a faulty unit. Send then back for repair. But before that, perhaps you can try on another PC to eliminate PC connection problem.

You must have a scanner that takes multipule scans(try dell).

The first place to look is at the website of the scanner's manufacturer. If you can't find the site, check the documents that came with your scanner for a tech help hotline. If those options fail, for whatever reason, you may wish to check the extensive library of software drivers that are available at www.software.drivers.com - click the link below, and you'll be taken directly there.\n\nGood luck!
