Cannot communicate with the scanner
Hi all
I have just purchased an Epsom SX130
When selecting Epson Scan, I get the following error message:
'Cannot communicate with the scanner'
I have turned the printer off and back on again. Removed the power lead and plugged back in.
I have removed the USB lead and tried it in other ports, without hubs. I have also tried a brand new USB lead.
If I use PaintShop Pro X2 and select Import > Twain Acquire > I get the same message plus another message - 'No scanner Found', but if I select Twain source, I get the 'EPSON NX130/SX130/TX130/ME 340.
I can use the printer and copy functions with no problems, so, I am
assuming it may be something to do with the OS - Win 7 32 bit as I have tried using WIA and get the same results.
I have tried 2 other printers and am getting the same or similar reactions.
Is this a Windows problem and if so, is there a solution.
Back in November, I installed a new HDD and Win 7 Home Premium.
Thanks.
