The problem took a U turn today. The drivers I got, included a scanner test program.
When I initiate a scan all this time it reported:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Unidentified Error"
Step:
1. Check to see if their is no SCSI ID number conflict.
2. Check the SCSI cable connections.
3. Run scan test again.
** Make sure the scanner is on the list of the system device manager.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, here are the things I did from A to Z
Today I hooked up the scanner, and installed
WinNT drivers instead of Win2000 drivers (which I had installed all this time).
(My OS is WinXP Pro) and rebooted. It detects the scanner as '330/336CX' and quickly
changes to 'SlimScan C3'(which happened with the Win2000 drivers too). and rebooted again.
Then I ran the scanner test program again. Suddenly the scanning lamp begin to flash and it scanned a image perfectly.
No errors at all
I scanned another 5 images and they allso got scanned perfectly.
Then to my bad luck, the power to the scanner got loose and it switched off. when I turned it on again
the PC got stuck, and had to reboot. But now when I run the scan test again, the lamp flashes RGB
hears a relay clicking sound the motor spins 2 times and the lamp tries to move, and greets me with that same damn error message
So I’m back in square 1. I rebooted a dozen of times but the same error.
Can a driver cause this kind of a thing ? I’m confused.
Need Help soon.
Thanx
