[ddots-l] SharpEye and HP scanner, RE: Re: k1000 and Goodfeel in conflict

Hi Bill and listers,

Just want to pass my observation on here, for whatever it's worth.

I've used SharpEye with an HP6300 which was required equipment for use wi=
th OBR. In that case, the HP worked as you describe, not very friendly at=
 all.

Later I needed a printer, and got one of those HP combos, a printer scann=
er copyer for $100 from Radio Shack. I think it's the HP1200 series.  The=
 short story is that this latter scanner works ok with SharpEye and doesn=
't have those other interface problems.

Of course, the older HP is running under Windows 98 on an old PC at Light=
house, the newer combo scanner is running under Windows xp pro and connec=
ted to a laptop.=20

Regards,
js

Hi, Evelyn,

As I recall, you own both an HP and a Canon CanoScan or equivalent USB
scanner.  I recommend that you dedicate the Canon to scanning music with
SharpEye and keep that HP for scanning text from Kurzweil.  If you only
owned one scanner, that HP, we could find a way to configure it to work w=
ith
both programs.  But, since you do own 2 scanners and since we know that H=
P's
interface and SharpEye do not work optimally, I suggest you just keep the=
m
separate unless there is some reason not to do so.  We do have many
customers who use SharpEye with an HP scanner but, for some strange reaso=
n,
HP's scanning software (I believe it's called Precision Scan) will not
remember required settings for SharpEye from session to session.  In othe=
r
words, one must check the HP Precision Scan settings each time one launch=
es
SharpEye.

Regards,
Bill

P.S.  Don't forget that you must set up your scanner using the Select Twa=
in
Source under SharpEye's File menu.

You're somehow sending the image to the "kesi virtual printer".  Try
changing the port to the printer to "dummy".  See if that helps.  I'm not=
 at
all sure why=20
the printer is being called up when you print to SharpEye, unless, the
printer default for your system is fixated on "kesi virtual printer", or,
That's the printer=20
SharpEye has settled on.
