Service manual mustek scanner - Mustek Plug-n-Scan 1200 CP Flatbed Scanner

SOURCE: mustek a3 usb 1200 pro scanner problem

I bought one a couple of years ago. After plenty of hit-miss after trying to get it to work on my fresh XP installations, I have a solution. Installing it the normal way simply doesn't work.

First, go to 'start', 'control panel' then 'system'. Click the 'hardware tab' then press 'device manager'. You'll see a list of hardware.

If your scanner is already plugged in, find it (it could be listed under 'imaging' or under 'other devices'. You should see a yellow exclamation point indicating it's there but not working.

If you go to 'control panel... system' first, and then plug in your scanner, it will pop up automatically.

Now, right click on it, select 'update driver'. A window pops up. Insert the CD, then select 'have disk' and install normally.

Installing the remaining software is optional (acrobat 4.05 and so on)

I've used the "Panel" to scan my pics. Working like a charm.
