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.

upgrade. run only 1 system

get it from the manufacturer web site for that make and model and down load one suitable for win 7

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.

please dont.go to www.drivers.com and get a prober driver.install,after the imac "henwise",and reboot.hope it helps.

Try going into unmax 5600 web site and see if they have a scanner driver load option or a scanner driver CD and copy it. a

Check if the light is on, while the scanned is busy by lifting the lid. If it is dark the lamp or the LED's don't burn and if so, I think you have to start saving for a new one.

The light in the scanner may be burned out so that the document is not being lit during the scanner process. If it is an old scanner I would suggest looking into buying a new one.

Too vague to answer, but I already replied to your previous Q which was slightly more detailed.

You will probably have to try and use the existing XP driver. When installing the driver software in windows 8, make sure you install it in "compatibility mode" and tick "Windows XP R2".

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.

You need to get a new scanner. Microsoft is not going to support Windows XP anymore period. It is so outdated...please.

i need UMAX scannar5600 software dirver win7

check this solution out...

You will not know until you try it. The new driver may be unable to communicate with the device, or if it can communicate some new features will not be available.

Older scanners often do not work with win 7 or in 64 bit. Try hooking it up to an older computer.

If you are using windows 7, a lot of older scanners are not recognised, the solution to this is a program called VueScan available from loads of places, just use google to find it. It will work with most scanners and will have a driver that saves you buying a new scanner, I have used it with 10 year old scanners and not had a problem with win 7 32 or 64bit os

If the UMAX website doesn't have Windows 7 drivers for this scanner you may be out of luck. Some of the older devices are not supported by Win 7.
