UMAX PowerLook 2100xl scanner termination
Only one termination should be powered in a SCSI chain. Generally, it should be the last device. It's been a long time since I've worked with SCSI, but I recall that scanners may be picky about where in a chain of multiple devices they are located; electrical noise on the SCSI data lines causes problems with the scanner electronics. I don't recall whether best results are found from locating it as the first device in line from the computer or the last device.
Umax mirage II not working, not recognized on xp
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!!
Scanner will not calibrate.
Make sure your scanner is connected to your computer with a cable or over the network. Scan your calibration target and save it as an uncompressed TIFF file.
Open the Activities overview and start typing Color.
Click on the Color to open the panel and select your scanner.
How do I connect my Umax Powerlook III to my max 10.6.8 os x?
This scanner is Fast SCSI . It was made in 2001. You will need a card in your Mac for a SCSI interface. The cost of the card and scsi cable, if your Mac will accept one, will probably exceed the cost of a newer, high performance scanner. Time to move on? (Umax were not the greatest scanners even when they were made. Umax was a cheaper brand with mediocre software. So how will you get the image into the Mac once you have a connection? Power PC (OS 9) Mac software will not run on OS X.)
It will not turn on. What do I have to do? I bought this some time ago but it has never been used.
I presume this is a scanner that uses a USB connection to your computer. You will find that it does just about nothing until you have it connected both to power and to a computer's USB port. You must also install the appropriate drivers and software. Only then will your computer activate the scanner when you actually try to scan something. The only thing that will activate with only the power cord connected is the scanning lamp inside it so lift the lid and connect the power cord. If the lamp comes on but nothing else, it's just doing what it's supposed to do.
