Hi emanuele10,
I would be happy to help you with how to scan documents. Could you please tell me where you are scanning the documents to? ie. a computer or to an email. I would also need to know the operating system you are using. Click here to find out what operating system you are running.  Are you connected to a network wirelessly , wired or directly to a computer with a USB cable?
I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Would like to scan using older scanner

    Hello to the Mac family,
    Once again I am stuck. I have been a very longtime user of 9.2. I really loved it. Well my slot load 350 finally died. I bought a new I-mac running X.5.2.
    I have an old Epson perfection 636U scanner. I would love to be able to scan into Photoshop with this scanner. Money is now really tight so I need to be able to get this to work if possible.
    I must say I wish my old apps like "Sound Jam, Pagemaker etc. worked on this new computer.
    I went to the Epson site and see that the drivers are for 8.6 to 9.2. I figured these won't work on X.
    There must be some sort of generic Twain driver or something that will let me scan.
    This is where I need gentle help. If there is a way to scan using this could someone please advise.
    Also please remember that I am a total newbie to X. In 9.2 I could download and install to the P.S. prefs folder or put the driver into import/export folder. I knew how to do all that but on X I am having trouble just doing little things like finding my music.
    I really would appreciate it if someone could offer step by step help. The scanner is old but it works great. I know I won't have my OCR software etc. I just need to be able to scan pixs to PS.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.......mGb,,,..,,,,,,,,,Jim

    Hello Dennis,
    First...thanks for the help. I followed your suggestion and I thinkI did it right.
    I tried to use the scanner but it doesn't see a scanner. When I go into Photoshop or Imageready, I can select the Twain drivers that are listed from the download. I see 5 drivers and have selected each one. When I select the 640 and try to import it says no device. I did this with all 5 and still no luck.
    I rechecked all my connections and have the scanner plugged directly to the computer (no hub).
    It really seemed like it would work. Prior to this I had no Twain devices listed.
    Do you have any other ideas. I really need to scan and my wife will never OK the purchase of a new scanner. The computer was a large investment for us. It seems as though I should be able to get this scanner to work. I am 100% certain the scanner is good.
    As far as the new OS, I am pretty sure in time I will love it. For now it is hard to navigate. In 9.2 I used the exten manager quite a bit. I could trash prefs when having trouble, I knew where most everything was located on the HD. It is just going to be a change and I am not real good with change. Kinda like an old pair of boots, you get to love them......
    If you have any other ideas I would really appreciate it, as my wife has several pixs she wants me to scan. These are of recently deceased family members so this is important.....Thanks......mGb.....Jim

  • Can't I use my Scanner with the Elements 10 editor without the organizer??

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a looong time to help me create the product images I need for my online business. It's been a love-love relationship... until I took advantage of a special offer and bought Elements 10. Now it seems the only way I can scan images is thru the Organizer.... and the organizer is something I don't need.
    Is there a way to scan my images thru the Editor only... and completely bypass the organizer (as I'm able to do with my older version of Elements)? Like a twain plugin I can install or something?
    I may scan 10 images and decide to use only 3 of them... and those are the only ones I save.
    With the way PSE10 is set up using the Organizer to scan, it's saving all 10 of them. Not to mention the extra steps of scanning thru the Organizer... (which means that pop-up window for my scanner every time), back over to the editor to pull the images in for editing, back to my files to delete the ones the organizer saved that I don't want... etc etc etc.
    It's like 5-6 extra steps altogether and a huge time-sink for me (you know the old saying... time is money).
    If there's no way to bypass the Organizer for scanning.... can I get a refund on my purchase? My older version of Elements works beautifully for me...  I was just hoping for  more sophisticated image editing capabilities.
    VERY frustrated right now.

    Thank you very much for your explanation which I fully understand.  Since a "fix", as you say, is not a solution might it not be a good idea to alert purchasers of the latest editions of Elements that they have an option to try this alteration to the installation in order to be able to import images from a scanner?  (My own experience with versions prior to 9 always worked perfectly!)  I do not know but does Photoshop CS5 allow the user to import images from a scanner or does the user have to use a similar solution to what applies to Photoshop Elements?  I find Elements to be a very good app and am sure it is a good selling product for Adobe for amateur/semi-pro users that the alternative that I suggest may be a useful tool for existing or new users who want or need the capability to import from a scanner rather than having to go through other more difficulty and time consuming ways of doing the same task.  Kindest regards and with my best intentions.

    It's not a "fix", exactly. The TWAIN plug-in causes a lot of crashing in PSE so in the past couple of versions adobe makes you install it if you want it.

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

  • Using a scanner to parse a text file

    Hi,
    I'm running into some difficulties using a pattern for my scanner (java.util.Scanner). I need to scan a text file which consists of records. Each record has a keyword and a value (like property files):
    Example:
    FACILITY=TEST
    LOT=1234567
    DEVICE=abcdefgNormally, every record will be ended by a carriage return and line feed. So what I did was using a scanner with cr/lf as delimiter. That worked fine for most records but there are some records which span several lines (with cr/lf at the end of each line), e.g.:
    MAP_XY.01.01=" Y-7 24/10 Y-6 24 22/17 15/7 Y-5 29/7 5 Y-4 32/22 20

    fileScanner.useDelimiter("\\s*=\\s*");because the result would be something like:
    keyword: FACILITY     value: TEST
    LOTkeyword: 1234567
    DEVICE     value: abcdefgWhat I need is a pattern which also handles carriage return/line feed until a new keyword (like LOT for example) occurs.
    The correct result should be:
    keyword: FACILITY     value: TEST
    keyword: LOT            value: 1234567
    keyword: DEVICE     value: abcdefg
    keyword: MAP_XY.01.01 value: " Y-7 24/10 Y-6 24 22/17 15/7 Y-5 29/7 5 Y-4 32/22 20...
    {code}
    I hope, I did explain clearly enough...
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks and best regards

    Any help would be appreciated.You have grouping and data in the groupings and you are attempting to parse it all at one go.
    Won't work. (Might in a perfect world but not in this one.)
    You need a parsers that do the following
    1. Parser text file (stream) into records.
    2. Parse records into data.
    You can put both into one class or not.
    Your record parser is going to be based roughly on the following scheme.
    1. Find keyword,
    2. Look up format defined for keyword
    3. Attempt to read format found.
    4. Error if format not found.
    5. Else return the record found.
    I say roughly because as noted above you need to know what the actual output looks like. It is possible to determine this if you have enough examples but it is a lot easier if you actually get the specification that tells you what it looks like.
    I suspect, but don't know that the "format" in the above will consist of the following.
    <word><text>
    or
    <word><text>
    <space><text>
    <space><text>
    You could just create one format for the all but you will likely have record types that don't fit that and the earlier you detect errors the better.

  • Can I use this scanner?

    Dear all,
    I am considering getting a DocuPen RC800 scanner (see <http://www.planon.com/>). The scanner apparently needs a download, and cannot use the (Windows) software supplied (see <http://www.planon.com/drivers.php>, about 2/3 the way down the page).
    I haven't a clue what all this TWAIN stuff is about, other than it's some sort of scanner standard. Therefore, I would be grateful if someone more knowledgable than me can answer:
    * Can I use the scanner?
    * Assuming yes, in what format would I get images out?
    * If something non-standard (by that I mean not jpg, tif, gif, etc.), what application should (could?) I use?
    I'm not that fussed about OCR at this stage, but it may be useful in the future. The first step is getting images!
    I have the applications Apple supplies, plus Microsoft Office 2004.
    I hope I've been clear. Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Phillip
    No Preview can't as it is only a picture viewer.
    Any image application that can import photos, will often have the ability to import a scanned image like Photoshop for example. Photoshop Elements is one that i can personnaly recommend and it is a fraction of the price of the full blown version.
    Also Microsoft Office, which you say you have, but I don't know which version you have and if it has the ability, you can check that out yourself.
    Here is a list of graphics application for Macs ranging from freeware to commercial.
    I haven't gone through it extensively but there are a lot there.
    http://www.pure-mac.com/graph.html
    Also check out what is available at the Apple Software site. Most of these are not Apple products but are third party applications, and some of them are very good indeed.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/
    There are very many applications that can use a scanner, ranging from cheaper basic jobs to high end professional setups.
    So have a browse, and I hope you find something suitable and affordable.
    regards roam

  • HT204266 how do i get an app to be recognized under the camera setting to be able to use the scanner?

    I have an app called goodreads and an in order to use the scanner it says I need to let the camera have access. to do so it is saying to go to settings, privacy camera and allow access to the app well I do that but under the camera it doesn't have that app listed and I don't know how to get it so it is there? I have tried deleting the application and reloading it and still nothing. any advice?

    TThat means you're allowing access to your camera roll when you access the app - like Instagram.
    doesnt mean when you open the camera roll - good read will be an option like Facebook, Flickr, twitter...
    refer to the good read support pade

  • I can't use my scanner in Elements 12

    I am unable to use my scanner with Elements 12.  I moved the Twain plug in from the Optional Plug-in folder to the Plug-in folder but no luck  Not in editor or organizer

    Thank you-I looked at that article when I first started this project several hours ago. I called the scanner company and their tech support suggested it.  I moved the Twain Plug in as was suggested but I can’t seem to get the scanner to be recognized by PSE.  Any other suggestions?

  • Using a Scanner with Leopard

    Hi all,
    I used to use a Canon app to access my Scanner however after changing to Leopard I'm no longer able to do this, can anyone recommend an application that will allow me to use my Scanner?

    I was so upset to read my trusty Canon N1220U Scanner was Not Supported? Jeeze! You mean I have to go spend another fortune on new Scanner? Well I just fired up trusty old VueScan I d/led from Versiontracker and Bless my stars and garters!! It works Great!! Way better than the old Cannon Software as you don't need Photoshop or anything, Its a stand alone program and Its actually pretty robust and automatic as well. I pressed a few buttons It automatically calibrated the unit with no intervention and then scanned my Holiday Letter so we can send out 70 copies No Problem! Good News Folks..
    Happy Holidays to All

  • Using a scanner

    Trying to use a scanner with Pages...
    Have not found a way to activate the scanner to insert material...

    Assuming you refer to a Mac, scanners do not in themselves produce text, they produce
    images of text, etc. Many come with software that will do Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and
    produce some form of text file, such as .rtf. Pages could open that, but be aware that extensive
    proofreading may be necessary. They don't read as well as we do!
    If you don't care about editability, your scanner software can probably produce a .PDF consisting
    of the images of the pages, which should be good enough for a human to read.
    Notice all this relies on the scanner software. I see no sign that Pages would try to do OCR.

  • Question about using class Scanner

    Hi, everyone. I am a newbie of Java. I am writing a simple program to let user input 3 integers by using Scanner.
    I know Scanner will igrone if more than 3.
    But if i want to tell user if they were wrong when they input more than 3 integers,
    is it possible if just use nextInt() to read?
    Thank you!

    AlexChanMC wrote:
    javadoc said hasNext and next methods may block waiting for further input
    that is why after i input 3 integers press enter and without response, then i need to input 4th thing to continue?
    so how can i make the program response normally (print out) after input 3 integers and pressing enter and tell user they are wrong if they input 4 integers?
    Edited by: AlexChanMC on Feb 21, 2010 5:39 PMHmmm. I don't think I've ever used a Scanner to read from the standard input ... usually, from files, like so:
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("myNumbers"));
          while (sc.hasNextLong()) {
              long aLong = sc.nextLong();
          }Perhaps you can just get the whole line, and see if it matches the regular expression
    "^(\\d+) (\\d+) (\\d+)$" // may need to trim the input line firstIf not, you don't have exactly three integers. That way, you only do a single nextLine() on the scanner.

  • Cannon MP830 can't use the scanner function after upgrading to Mavericks.

    I have an Cannon MP830 and now I can't use the scanner function after upgrading to Mavericks.  Can someone help?

    There is no ICA driver for this model so you won't be able to use Image Capture or Preview. But there is a TWAIN scanner driver and the supporting MP Navigator application available for 10.8 from Canon, so you could try installing these and see if you can scan again.

  • HT3669 Using/installing scanner Canoscan LIDE 50 with Mac OS 10.8.2

    How can I use my canoscan lide 50 with my macbook pro retina (2012), which is running Mac OS 10.8.2?

    It would appear that you cannot use this scanner on 10.8. Canon has not produced an ICA or TWAIN scanner driver. 10.8 does not list the LiDE 50 in its CanonIJScanner2 package. And VueScan states that to use it, you must first install the Canon TWAIN scanner driver. But the installer for this model was last written for 10.4 - meaning it requires support for PPC chipset which Apple ceased with 10.7.

  • Can anyone answer why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner?

    Can anyone help me with why photoshop CS3 shuts down when I use the scanner? I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.

    Ask in the PS forum and be much more specific. You have not provided exact system information, crash logs, scanner details. That said, this may be a compatibility issue that can't be overcome.

    It can be done because it was done.
    You could have made your question here much easier to understand. You mentioned none of this in your first two posts.
    There's a fairly recent version of that extension for Safari, here: https://code.google.com/p/mailto-chromeextension/downloads/list
    If that doesn't work, maybe you should try using the Chrome version.
    Good luck.

  • Can't use Hp scanner ap.

    Can't use Hp Scanner ap.  Get the following message:
    Scanner reported an error
    HP Officejet Pro 8610 is currently unavailable. Please check if it is turned on and connected, or try again later.
    I can scan using the Printer & Scanner Ap in System Preferences.  Also my MacBook Pro can use the Scanner Ap.  Hp says its a Mac issue.  Anyone else have this problem?

    Hello there JDB38,
    If you still havent bveen able to use the scanner, I would recommend using the troubleshooting in the following article to help you resolve that. The title mentions printers, but the steps are the same for scanners:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling
