Can't calibrate new Stratford Labs GFP-001

Hi, I bought a Stratford Labs digital image copier with ArcSoft software and I installed everything correctly. Following the instructions for first time users I had to calibrate the copier but the first time. When I did this it told me that I did not have enough bandwidth for the USB port. I did a little research and found that because I own a Dell Inspiron 2650 there have been issues with the USB ports not being up to 2.0 even though its supposed to be. One recomendation was that I acquire a powered USB Hub which would increase the power? So I got a Belkin USB Plus Hub that plugs into an outlet and has 4 ports. I still get the same message and cannot get past the calibration stage for using this device. I know that I have an older computer and am running XP on it but will I really have to get another computer just to use this imaging device? Is there something else I can download to help? Can you help me? - Thanks S. Ellington

Can't calibrate the new Stratford "Digital Image Copier" GFP-001.
Followed all instalation instructions till I got to the part where it said that the unit had to be calibrated for the first time used. It said to "Click" on the "calibrate" button to perform the calibration,
but there was no calibration button shown, or no on screen desplay pop-up. Would like to know what I can do to rectify this problem. I am using an Acer Laptop with "Vista Home Premium";
which has 2.0 USB Ports which is called for. Does this device need to be calibrated, or can it be used without the required calibration?
Thank you,
Gerry Hall

    I'm having the same problem. I click on "calibrate" and nothing happens. I can use the scanner but it's terrible and a piece of ****. A slide will show up fine and the scanner just keeps processing it until people's faces are totally whited out. The slides show up fine in a viewer and are not over-exposed. No one seems to want to answer this question, do they? I think this scanner is a waste of money. There is no tech support and no one responds. I'm as frustrated as you!

I HAVE A STRATFORD LABS GFP-001 SLIDE SCANNER, I HAVE LOST THE CD, I NEED A DRIVER

I used http://www.google.com and entered the words

Stratford Labs GFP-001 Slide Scanner

The results of my search identified two for sale cheaply on eBay.com

It may be easier to purchase one cheaply on eBay.com that include the CD than keep searching.

Lost CD for downloading program for GFP-001

This is linked directly from the Stratford Labs AEI software and download page. You may also need the 64 bit driver patch, which can be found at the parent to the page I just linked:

Need Windows 7 Drivers for Stratford Labs GFP-001

You first have to delete the current drivers. Just right click on my computer, go to properties and driver details and delete.
Go to this link to get the x64 drivers:

http://www.shopperite.com/shopping-faq/bellhowell-downloads-manuals.html

kind of a strange link but you will find the drivers there.


Run the driver pack you just downloaded, then plug in your device.

Everything should work once you reboot

Where can I get the software for the Stratford Labs GFP-001 digital image copier for Windows 7?

The manufacturer's website advises that the GFP-001 Image Scanner is, Compatible with Vista and Windows XP systems Only. Requires USB version 2.0 Only.

Sorry, but I do not believe you will be able to find support for Windows 7, unless your scanner functions with one of the generic drivers inlcuded in Windows 7.

Lost installation CD

Well, I cannot help you with a disk, but I can offer this insight:

Seems this scanner only works with USB2 ports, and if you only have USB1 ports, you will not have any luck.

Additionally, while I cannot help you with drivers, I have found others who say that Windows XP (and it is assumed Vista) does not need drivers to operate this scanner.

Simply go to the Control Panel, (after it's plugged in to a USB2) and click on Scanners and Cameras. The operating system will guide you through a wizard which will allow you to scan images into your computer.

Once there, however, you are sort of on your own to choose the software you want to edit those images.

good luck

I purchased a stratford labs digital image copier model GFP-001 to convert slides to digital pics. Have it installed on my computer (windows xp) but can not get it to scan a clear image. No website...

Just found the company that actually makes "Stratford Labs" scanners. Called them very helpful, still sending this one back. They actually answer the phone when you call, that's a plus.
1-847-550-9998 Affillated is the name of the company.
