Umax Mirage II Flatbed scanner,3 flashing lights

Hi. I have a Mirage II A3 scanner that was working fine till I save it in a closet a few years ago. Now I need it again, but I don´t have the PC I used to have with ISA port...
I finally found a brand new PCI card I had in another Umax scanner, so I connected it to the PCI slot in my actual PC. And I cannot connect the scanner... I installed the software correctly, but in Test mode, it gives me a Link failure. Besides, the scanner does its setup when powered on, the lamp goes from right to left, stays there a few seconds and return to its original position. But the UTA and READY lamps keep blinking...
I found this page:https://ask.adaptec.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1869/~/scanner-test-link-failures-with-umax-scanner, that explains this can be fixed upgrading the software, but the link does no longer exist...
Could you please send me the software I need to connect it..? It´s really important I can do this. I have a huge job to do but it doesn´t work... I´l be waiting for your answer. THANKS!!

Should be a standard USB device cable. Any half decent home electronics store sells them. The same cable is used to connect most USB printers.

Hi,

Below given is the link of Umax India with the contacts available in india. Call your nearest dealer so that you could purchase the SCSI card for your flatbed scanner.

apparently no,but you can download the driver from here:

let me know if it's working

it is always handy to state the brand and the type of connection when referring a fault.
if its USB the check in ctrl panel DEVICE MANAGER if there is a yellow exclamation mark.
same for serial ...against the scanner

if this exclamation is there it means that it does not recognise the scanner and will need to be reinstalled.
check that the serial plug is on firmly, both at scanner and computer, dont just look... undo and reseat on both. Ensure the POWER plug is connected firmly and that it IS switched on.. try something else in that plug and see if it works.

simple things are often overlooked and users thinking technicians are just stupid to ask these questions, but 9/10 it is the simple thing that causes the problem.

OUR SCANNER IS CONNECTED BUT DOES NOT WORKING. DOES NOT POWER ON THE "SCANNING LAMB" NOW THE TWO GREEN LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ( POWER AND READY ) BUT THE SCANNER DOES NOT WORK OR SCAN.

hi,

1. connect the scanner usb cable to your desk top
2. install your scanner driver (cd of your scanner) to your computer.
3 as you put the cd in your desk top computer it will give you guide line (just follow it)


thank you....

I have this scanner.... I had to take the scanner apart(take the cover off) very simple to do. This is a very simple fix. Obvious fix. You will see when you open it where the switch is. Mine was not making contact. You might be stuck with it in the on position once you fix it.

I had the same problem. I turned off the scanner and unplugged the transparency unit from the back of the scanner and restarted and it is working fine now. Hopefully this works for you as well.
