Have you or anyone on the list ever heard of a scanner called, Open Edge or
least I think that's the name?

Hi to the original sender. Do you still have the CD to your scanner? The
Epson Smart Pannel software is really not needed, but if you need to scan
pics, you should install it. Good luck.
Also make sure the scanner's driver is installed.Lino Morales

This is why, I think, we should not worry about things like whether
pictures
scan properly. Our major concern should be whether our scanner works
properly with our optical character recognition programs.

I have to give a little background info in case it is needed to understand
my situation.
About a month or so ago I had Windows 2000 and I used a Epson Perfection
1670 scanner, which I still have and use. Also, I use my scanner mainly
with Kurzweil 1000 version 9.
I upgraded to Windows XP Pro because my hard drive got corrupted somehow.
My friend, who works on my computer, did a reinstall and that is when I
upgraded to Win XP Pro. My scanner worked fine and I could still use
Kurzweil. Though, when my friend did a reinstall he did not put the Epson
Smart Panel in or anything else that was on the original disk. The only
thing of Epson I had was in the Start menu which was, Epson Scan.
The other day my boyfriend wanted me to scan a picture for him and that
is
when we noticed that the picture wasn't coming up like it use to. I
called
my friend and that is when he told me it was probably because he forgot
to
install the Epson Smart Panel.
So, thinking everything was fine today, I was going to scan some things
in
Kurzweil and the scanner would not move. The light was on near the
buttons
and the light on the scanner bar was on but the bar would not move. This
could have been do to my boyfriend hitting some of the buttons on the
front of the scanner. Again, I'll mention that after the install of XP
the
scanner worked fine and I could scan materials in Kurzweil.
Well, I found my CD of Epson and installed everything. The scanner bar
moves now which I suppose is good. It was a successful install as I was
told on the screen. When I go to the Start menu now it has extra stuff of
Epson but the Epson scan option does not open any more like it did. My
biggest concern is thinking that the bar moved now I could use Kurzweil.
I
open Kurzweil and tried to scan several things that I have scanned in the
past (like a test to see if it would work) and Kurzweil does not
recognize
that there are any pages.
I'm not sure of what to do. I tried calling my friend a couple of times
but he hasn't gotten back to me.
Is there anything I could do or try? I did look in Kurzweil to make sure
the scanner was listed and it was.
Thank you,
Melissa
