EPson 2450 Scanner trouble

I forgot to load the Epson scanner software, and hooled up the USB cable, and voila - to my pleansant surprise, it opened up image capture, and recognized the 2450, then "overviewed" my picture. I then selected some options, and tried to scan - no!
To my dissappointment, it will do an overview, but it goes nowhere. The scanner button WILL NOT highlight, so I cannot scan - what is the deal!!!!????
Thanks.

The simplest possible explanation: Have you defined a part of the Overview to be scanned? Click and drag* over the desired portion; that has to be done before a scan is possible.
Posting in a forum more appropriate to Image Capture (part of or bundled with the OS, and covered there) would have been a good second thing to do.
*Reading Image Capture > Help would have revealed that step, along with the rest of the steps to take iot scan an image. A quick perusal of the Help section would have been a really good first thing to do, and would have saved us both a bit of typing.

  • Epson 2450 Scanner no longer available as an import into Photoshop

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with my Epson 2450 scanner importing into Photoshop. Last week with thoughts of upgrading, I purchased an Epson V700. I installed the scanner but found it not to my liking and returned it. Yesterday I downloaded and ran the Uninstaller to remove the V700. This however deleted my 2450 driver as well. I reinstalled the 2450 driver from Epson but then, and after repeated attempts, found that the 2450 is not showing up as an import option. Please note that I am still using Tiger. Any suggestions to getting this all working again as it has for the past 8 years would be greatly appreciated. One simple use of an uninstaller has turned for the worse - I wish I had just kept the V700 installed and just ignored that it was still listed in Photoshop as an import choice. (Please note also, that I am a high school photo teacher and was planning on giving the 2450 to my school. I was not able to load the driver and use the scanner through Photoshop on our school Macs either.)
    Thank you,
    Nick M.

    Hello, did you repair Permissions & reboot yet?
    One possible option is Vuescan...
    http://www.hamrick.com/
    It supports the 2450, can be made to send the scan directly to PhotoShop, and has many more features than Epson's SW does.

  • Epson 2450 scanner oddness

    I'm having an issue with an Epson Perfection 2450 scanner that worked fine with Lion until recently.  Now I cannot get the scanner to work and there are odd things going on.
    I've reset my printer system in system prefs and unplugged/restarted the scanner and restarted my mac several times.  The scanner either doesn't show up in Preview or shows up multiple times.  Last time I cleared the printers I had 5 instances of the scanner to choose to add; none of them worked. I keep getting either "scanner not available" or "failed to open a scanning session" error messages.
    Any ideas on what to try next?

    Gerald
    Two further points to follow up:
    1 in addition to the Epson updates, you may also need to update the Smart Panel software - then try scanning into Epson Smart Panel rather than Image Capture
    2 Epson scanners can be fussy about how they are recognised - if you can't get the scanner to work properly, try disconnecting the scanner physically (= take out the USB cable) and then reinstall the software. Then reconnect the USB cable. I had to do this once when my 3170 just refused to be recognised properly.

  • Epson 2450 Using Photoshop CS (v8) OS 10.6.3

    Having trouble using my Epson 2450 scanner after installing OS 10.6.3 I am using an older version of Photoshop CS (I guess it would be version 8). I have installed the epson twain driver utility 2.77 When I select import and choose epson 2450 photoshop basically crashes. There is not an option in this version of photoshop to print using rosetta when I do a get info on it. I'm disappointed that I can no longer scan into photoshop. Any suggestions or remedies are much appreciated.

    This is a help forum, not a social forum to make obscure irrelevant posts like yours. If you have a helpful piece of information that might help someone, then by all means post it. If you merely post your opinions of which you have no knowledge of, then you have not served the forum in the best way, but merely blurted out senseless information that is of no use to anyone. TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT THIS SCANNER AND SNOW LEOPARD DO WORK TOGETHER as I have previously posted. Epson advised to keep checking to see if they update their drivers for Mac OS 10.6.3 so that you can use the scanner from within Photoshop. I only hope that such posts such as yours don't discourage other users that use these discussion forums to help find answers to their questions. I AM lucky that I don't stop investigating issues that I have with my Mac due to incorrect or personal opinions that are posted in these forums.

  • Epson 2450 Failed on USB2.0, but not USB1.1

    I installed the the XP USB 2.0 support driver which they have for Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Support in Windows XP (Q312370) as suggested by the information on the driver CD.
    When I plugged my Epson 2450 scanner (It supports USB2) into a USB 1.1 onboard connector, XP could recognise it and it worked fine apart from XP was telling me that I have Hi-speed USB port available (which I have through MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU external bracket). The external bracket has 4 USB 2.0 ports, but Windows XP said I have 5. I don't get it.
    Anyway, so I tried, unfortunately, when I plugged the scanner into USB2 connection. Windows XP did not recognise it and displayed it as a unknown device.
    I try reinstall all the USB drivers, still does not work. MSI Australia said they use the Windows Update USB 2.0 driver with the external bracket at their office as well, but they have no USB 2.0 scanner to test.
    They also asked me to try the driver that comes with the board on the CD (Directory USB\USB20\NEC\) even though it is intended for the use with other Windows operating systems instead of for Windows XP.  But I tried,  XP thought all the USB 2.0 ports of the bracket are USB 1.1, "Hi-speed device attached to non-hi-speed USB hub" appeared.
    The following are what currently showing in my Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers:
    NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller B1
    NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller
    NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller
    USB 2.0 Root Hub
    USB Printing Support
    USB Root Hub
    USB Root Hub
    USB Root Hub
    USB Root Hub
    VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
    VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
    Could anyone help me to solve this problem, please.  I have not heard from MSI Australia for days.

    Thanks RLH.  But I tried and made sure all that, No, still doesn't work.
    MSI Australia sent me a USB 2.0 driver to test.  The result was: XP only recognised the Epson 2450 scanner for 3 seconds, then the scanner under Imaging Devices of the Device Manager disappeared from viewing for 3 seconds, then it appeared back on again.  But finally after a few continous flashing of Device Manager together with the scanner icon appearing and disappearing from Device Manager, XP said "Device not recognised" again.
    Well, not the end of the story yet.  after XP did not recognised the driver message appeared for about 5 seconds.  XP then said it recognised the scanner, but it also displayed "Hi-Speed USB device attached to non-hi-speed hub" again.  That means XP treated the USB 2.0 bracket as USB 1.1 again.
    I tried Repairing XP, but...it's the same.
    MSI Australia ask me to flash the BIOS, even though I am using version 5.4, not the latest 5.5 (which came out not long ago).  I am yet to flash it, but I am not familiar with it.  I need to research more before I flash the BIOS.
    Anyway, MSI Australia said they are waiting for the propert USB 2.0 driver for the KT3 Ultra-ARU to come out.  If (hopefully I don't need to wait for too long) the driver is released, they will send it to me.
    It's not looking good.
    What a pity that Epson 2450 is just an excellent scanner and I just can't use it to its full speed.

  • Photoshop CS5 not recognizing EPSON 2450 flatbed scanner

    I am on a MacPro....OS X 10.6.8. I am running Adobe Photoshop CS5. I need to be able to run my EPSON 2450 flatbed scanner through Photoshop. But when I go to File > Import > it's not there. Please explain where I can find the TWAIN plug-in, where to laod it and how to make it so it shows up under, "Import" so I can operate the scanner through Photoshop.

    Scanning with TWAIN has become increasingly buggy.
    Why not just use the Epson scanner software that came with the scanner?
    That way you can continue to use Photoshop while using Epson to scan.
    There are more features available from Epson than with Image Capture.
    However, if you feel the need to use TWAIN, here is the link for Mac CS5 plugin.
    Five seconds with Google would get you this:

  • Epson Perfection 2450 scanner not working with Mavericks

    My Epson Perfection 2450 scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Mavericks, it is not recognizing the scanner. Tried restarting, using a different USB cable, a different USB port, etc...with no luck. The issue is that my computer no longer seems to recognize that I plugged it in. Tried it with Image Capture, Photoshop, Preview and even the old Epson software.
    I tried downloading the Epson Scan Patch for Mavericks released on Oct 31, 2013. That did not help either.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.3.
    Love this scanner and don't want to have to buy another. Any help to get my Mac to recognize it would be greatly appreciated.

    Syd,
    My wife's iMac with 10.6.6 stopped working with her Epson 2480 Photo scanner. Get the error message "SCANNER reported an error. An error has occurred during scanning" I am trying to use it from the Image Capture App or from the print/fax option in Settings which opens Image Capture. I ran the uninstall program and then reinstalled the ICA 13969 .dmg but get the same error. Not sure what else I can do.

    I too have an Epson scanner and Epson's scanner software no longer works.
    Lion's Preview application allows me to scan (Preview>File>Import from Scanner) with very good options and functionality.
    I was in the same boat with my Epson 4180 scanner.  Luckily your little trick saved the day and I was able to get something scanned and printed through Preview.  I had previously spent a lot of time downloading and installing the updates which did no good, Lion still won't let me use it.
    Then I read about opening it through System Preferences and thought I'd found the answer, but that didn't work either.  Thanks for your post as it was very helpful to me.

  • Epson 2450 poor scanning since OSX 10.4 update.

    I have an old Epson 2450 Photo which used to work quite well using the Epson Twain software & PhotoShop Elements 2 in Mac OS 9.
    Since upgrading to Mac OSX 10.4, the scanner doesn't do NEARLY as well. At first it wouldn't even recognize the scanner. Epson support finally came up with a download which at least allows scans, but it's very basic - no controls, and not very good film scans.
    I have been advised to just use OS9 ("classic") but the Twain software no longer exists in OS9 - the download required that all old Epson software be discarded.
    I'm trying Vue Scan in OSX, but the results aren't very good. Working with a professionally shot 35mm color neg on Fuji NPS 160 film (one of the few specific films said to be supported in the trial version) the color quality is very poor. Ed Hamrick's suggestion:"try 'generic'." doesn't do any better. Costco has NO problem printing this neg. (I got a 12"x18" print for comparison while trying to perfect these scans, just 3 bucks!)
    Does anyone know how to make this scanner work as well as it did in OS 9 ?
    Anyone have any ideas? Could I just discard the new Epson "Fix" and re-load the old software & use it in OS9? I'm a bit afraid to try it in case it will will ruin everything.

    Hi Kat,
    I've read several, (hundreds?), of these complaints, trouble is there are many different reasons... I'll name a few to start us off...
    Using Delta Updates rather than Combo updates.
    Certain Broadcom Chipset based Modems/Routers might work fine for months, but then won't with Macs. Many varied symptoms including yours.
    Trashing these files and rebooting and setting up Network Prefs again...
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
    /Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Geez, there's too many to name off, but...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.

  • Plug in for epson v750 scanner

    For PS CS6 what plugin do I need to import into PS from my Epson V750 scanner? Does Adobe provide the plugin?

    If the software that came with the Epson doesn't include a plug-in, then there isn't one except for those that other developers have made (VueScan, SilverFast). Adobe doesn't provide them, each scanner maker does.
    However, a plug-in isn't the only way to scan into Photoshop. You can scan with the software that came with the V750, and set the software to save scans in a specific folder. You can then simply drag from that folder into Photoshop. I like to have Adobe Bridge pointed at the scan folder so I can see, keyword, and preview any of the scans as they show up, then edit any of them in Photoshop by pressing Enter/Return. Previewing your scan folder with Bridge is also a great first step to fast editing of scans in bulk in Adobe Camera Raw.

  • Photoshop CS5 not working with my epson 1640xl scanner on Mac OS Lion

    Just loaded CS5 on Mac 10.7.  I downloaded and installed the  latest OSX Epson 1640xl scanner software, and also copied the Twain plugin from the Adobe Goodies CD to the Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export folder. 
    Rebooted the computer, power off and unplugged my USB scanner, fired it back up, restarted Photoshop, etc.   It no longer shows up in Photoshop>File>Import
    But Photoshop doesn't see my scanner at all.  In fact, the TWAIN plugin doesn't even show up in the plugins folder list.
    Little Help?  How do I fix this? Everything worked perfectly with Mac 10.6  I also took the scanner into a epson dealer and the scanner works perfectly.

    That scanner is sort of old, and doesn't have a 64 bit driver.
    As Noel said: use Photoshop in 32 bit addressing mode to work with older drivers and plugins.

  • Image Capture is not recognizing my Epson Stylus Scanner 2000

    I have an Epson Stylus Scanner 2000 printer that scans, prints, copies and fax. I faithfully used these fetures in my home-based buisness with my G3 until I traded for a Mac Pro. I can print without a glitch, no problems there. How can I scan and fax??? I've been the the Epson website and didn't see my printer on the list of updates and recognized printers for OS 10.x. What can I do??? I need to keep my printer (which is in excellent working condition). Help me to scan and fax please...

    You need Intel or Universal Binary drivers, which it seems Epson doesn't offer. What I use to use for my scanner (and still do actually) is VueScan. But I did end up buying a $79 Canon LiDE 70 eventually.
    http://hamrick.com
    Epson Stylus 2000 is listed there as supported.
    http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#epson
    A lot of older printers are supported by CUPS or GuttenPrint so take a look there (avoid the latest beta driver though).

  • How do scan strip negatives via my Epson 4990 scanner using Image Capture since upgrade to OS X Mavericks

    Hello Everyone. OK I upgraded to OS X Mavericks without thinking that by doing this would stop me using my Epson 4990 scanner as no driver / software currently available - OK my fault. Anyway as Epson have not yet provided an update (yet?), all advice being recieved is use "Image Capture" for the time being. I have tried this along with using the "Help" files but unfortunately dont seem to be be any assistance. In simples terms I just wish to scan film negative strips (and transparencies) but it dont seem to be possible. Could any member advised how to get solve this problem as I am in the middle of a major scanning exercise with the worst case senario that I wil have to revert to my Windows based laptop to carry on and temporary reduntant my iMac which defeats the point of the exercise. Thank you in advance (hopefully) 

    Replay I received from Epson today:-
    "In response to your email, we unfortunately do not have any update available for your model at present. We have no confirmed date for this but as far as we are aware this is likely to be in the next two weeks"
