Hi. Could you please post this on the bookshare lists and send me any replies or have them send responses privately to me? Thanks.
I'd like to hear from anyone using the Epson 3170 scanner and what operating system it's being used with. Right now I have it connected to a Windows Me machine, but I can't scan a full page. The light bar of the scanner locks at the bottom of the scanner bed and I have to turn the scanner off and then on again to return the light bar to its starting position. I also get an Epson scan window that says that it can't properly communicate with the scanner and that if I'm using a SCSI connection, to restart the computer. I am using the approximately 10 meg driver, 11374.exe, that I got directly from the Epson site that includes the 3170 scanner. Someone told me that the reason I am having trouble with this combination is that Windows Me is notorious for poor memory management and that a full page image is too large for it to handle and that if I either use either Windows 98 or Xp, I won't have this problem any longer. Any thoughts? Any help in this area would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
