Epson 4490 Pro scanner

Just a quick report to say my Epson 4490 Pro scanner works great with the latest Epson drivers, which I had already installed, Version 3.03A. Hope this helps.

Glad to hear the scanner works under Snow Leopard. However, there were lots of components and utilities that came packaged with the scanner software and I'm wondering if they all still work as well.
For example, I frequently use the Epson Copy Utility with my scanner & printer to do my photocopying. I also occasionally use the Abbyy FineReader character recognition software that came bundled with the printer. It was already fairly old software when I bought my scanner (FineReader 5 Sprint +) but I hope it still works with Snow Leopard (obviously Rosetta would need to be installed).
Has anyone out there tested these components with Snow Leopard?

  • Pse10 will not recognise Epson V750 Pro scanner in Mac 10.7.2

    Hi all
    I'm having trouble getting my Pse10 Organiser to recognise my Epson V750 Pro scanner with Mac 10.7.2 .  In <get pctures from > it goes straight from 
    < cameras or card readers > to < files or folders > with no scanner option in between.
    I have tried installing Twain plugin  in every concievable location but the message is always the same < Photoshop does not recognise this type of file > . On opening Pse10 it flashes during initialising < building Twain menu items. Epson V750 Pro >  so it must almost be correctly installed.   In the hard drive the Twain plugin is described as  <alias >.
    I have tried :   applications/Pse10/support files/optional plugins/import modules/ = Twain .   &:  support files/plugins/import modules/ = Twain and  Anti-Ali...T.plugin .  The scanner works perfectly as a copier on the Mac when not in Photoshop so the driver is OK and up to date . The problem is between Mac & Photoshop, this is a purchased DVD installation which I have uninstalled-re-installed several times. The technicians at Adobe suggested trying downloading Trial Pse10 to check if my disc is off but on downloading the Trial it gets stuck every time  in  < extracting > after ten hous of which I give up .
    Someone suggested that this may be a 32 bit / 64 bit problem, I just do not know.
    Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.

    There is no scanning into organizer on a mac, as explained before in your other thread. Installing the plug-in only enables scanning into editor (in windows, organizer scanning is via WIA only, and there's no WIA on a mac).
    If you see alias, you did not move the plug-in, you made an alias for it. You must move the actual plug-in, not make an alias. Just drag it over without pressing any other keys.
    This will not work unless your scanner already works with OS X scanning. When it's connected and you open Preview and go to File>Import from Scanner, do you see your scanner listed?

  • ELEMENTS 11: I want to import files from my Epson 4490 Photo scanner and I can not use WIA feature.

    I would like to import photos that I have scanned with my Epson 4490 photo scanner.  I am scanning slides and it appears that I can not use the WAI feature that is offered in photoshop elements 11.  I am able to import using photoshop elements 2.  Has the functionality been lost in the newer version?

    Try installing the TWAIN plug-in - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/twain-installed-photoshop-elements-11.html.

    Having just bought an Epson V750 Pro scanner (4th October 2013) I find the bundled Adobe Elements is version 9. Should i not be entitled to version 12?

    Not as of right because this is for Epson to decide, not Adobe because Epson must have bought a bulk/volume license for a specific version and that is it.  even DELL are still offering version 10 on their [some] machines.

  • Lion and Epson V750 Pro Scanner

    Has anyone found a way of getting the scanner to work with Lion?
    My original instal was from the supplied disc and all was OK until I upgraded to Lion.
    I then got "PowerPC applicationsno longer supported".
    I've uninstalled drivers and put in the latest v3.81 (325489eu.dmg:en:3.810), which isn't very recent!
    The scanner goes through preview ok and then scans but will not load the scannerd file to the Mac. "Unexpectedly quit" every time!
    I've chatted with Epson several times but they can't help.
    I'm about to quit and hook the scanner up to a Windows PC.
    It seems to me that Epson haven't seriously tackled Lion for this application.
    Barry

    For that older scanner, on its website Epson is referring its Users to the following website as the ONLY source for compatibility with LION (and, Yes, you have to Pay for it):

  • Epson Perfection 4490 photo scanner will not on latest mac pro

    My epson 4490 scanner will not work on my new mac pro. Downloaded the lastest driver from epson and nothing.
    Any ideas guys?
    Much Appreciated

    The issue commenced with 10.5.2
    Here is the answer from Epson, and it works:
    To get the Epson Scan scanner driver running on the Intel Core Duo mac, a
    complete cleanout and reinstall may be required.
    In this case we would recommend using the following steps to get a full
    cleanout of all hidden files from earlier Epson Scan version(s) and a fresh
    install:
    UNINSTALL
    Note: the files found will vary by OS and driver version. Not all files and
    locations will be present. If one file cannot be found, just skip to the
    next item. If an EPSON SCAN or EPSON SCANNER named file is found in an
    adjacent location, you can trash it. Do not remove any other EPSON files.
    1. Go into HD, APPLICATIONS, UTILITIES and open ACTIVITY MONITOR. Highlight
    the EPSON SCANNER MONITOR process and click STOP or QUIT PROCESS to FORCE
    QUIT the process. Close ACTIVITY MONITOR.
    In HD, APPLICATIONS - move EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNER MONITOR to the
    trash.
    2a. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT, EPSON - remove EPSON SCAN, if
    present. Also check the contents of the Epson folder. Remove only files
    inside it that are related to the scanner, for example EPSON USB SCANNER or
    EPSON FW SCANNER BUNDLE.
    2b. Check in HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT. There may be other Epson
    files. Any files to do with the Epson scanner name or Epson Scan you can
    remove from here.
    3. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT, TWAIN*, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove
    EPSON SCAN, if present, and any files bearing your scanner's name. (*The
    Twain folder may not be present on all OS 10.4 Macs.)
    4a. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove any Epson
    scanner-named ".ds" files, for example the bearing your scanner's name,
    EPSON STYLUS or PERFECTION #### X.ds
    4b. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, DEVICES, remove EPSON SCANNER.DS, if
    present
    (This is a generic resident scanner driver. Once the Epson scanner software
    is working properly it will not be needed, so it can be deleted.)
    5. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES - remove EPSON
    (scanner name ####) PREFS, if present
    6. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES, EPSON - remove
    EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNERMONITOR PREFS, if present
    Once the above files have been moved to the trash, you do not need to empty
    the trash. Simply restart your Mac. You are ready to reinstall.
    DOWNLOAD
    If you have not done so already, use the following steps to obtain the
    download for the new Intel Core Duo driver:
    1. Go to http://support.epson.com
    2. Select Scanners, then Epson Perfection Series, then your scanner model
    name.
    3. Under DRIVERS & DOWNLOADS select Macintosh.
    4. Download only the driver marked for the Intel Core Duo system.
    Installation instructions:
    1. After download is complete, double click the icon that appears on your
    desktop. This will create a disk image on your desktop.
    2. Open the disk image.
    3. Double-click the EPSON SCAN INSTALLER icon to begin the installation.
    4. Enter password and follow prompts to install the driver. At the EASY
    INSTALL option, use the up/down arrows and select CUSTOM Install. Check
    ONLY your scanner model before clicking INSTALL.
    5. After installation is complete, quit the installer and restart the Mac
    before testing.
    To test this driver, do the following:
    1. Launch Epson Scan by going into your HARD DRIVE, APPLICATIONS, and EPSON
    SCAN.
    2. If prompted, select your scanner from the list of models and click OK.
    3. In the FILE SAVE SETTINGS window, you can designate the location, name
    and type of file the scans will be saved as.
    -LOCATION defaults to HD/USERS/(YOUR USER NAME)/PICTURES. Click CHOOSE if
    you wish to change this.
    -PREFIX determines how the scan will be named. Type any name you like. You
    can also designate a start number.
    -FILE TYPE dicates what format the scans will be saved in. ie. .JPG, .TIFF,
    .PDF, or .PICT)
    -For example: if the prefix is "img", the start number is "1", and the
    format is "JPG", the name of the file saved in
    PICTURES will be "IMG001.JPG"
    4. Click OK once settings are changed as desired.
    5. The EPSON SCAN window will open and begin scanning in FULL AUTO MODE. In
    FULL AUTO MODE the software makes all the decisions for you (as to what is
    being scanned, where it is on the flatbed, etc). This is the easiest way to
    scan.
    6. If you want full control over the scanning process click PAUSE and
    change FULL AUTO MODE to HOME MODE or PROFESSIONAL MODE. In the latter two
    modes you can change your scan settings as desired. Click SCAN after you
    have selected your settings. Click CLOSE once the EPSON SCAN is finished
    scanning.
    7. When scanning is complete, your images will be saved in the location
    specified on FILE SAVE SETTINGS, with the prefix and in the format you set.

  • Epson 4490 scanner not found by Acrobat X in Lion 10.7.4

    1. Uninstalled Epson software with software in "epson12887" uninstaller (from Epson).
    2. After connecting scanner, ran Apple Software Update and added the Epson Printer Software Update 2.11 from Apple.
    3. Epson 4490 Scanner is visible in System Preferences > Print & Scan window.
    4. Apple's Image Capture sees the Epson 4490 scanner, and Image Capture works with the scanner.
    5. Adobe Photoshop CS6 sees the scanner after adding Adobe's TWAIN plug-in, and Photoshop works with the scanner.
    In Acrobat, go to:
    FIle > Create > PDF from Scanner
    Scanner > Please select a device
    The Epson scanner isn't listed.

    I found the answer, thanks to this link:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1054100
    The solution is to go to Epson's site, and download the software that's specific to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for my scanner. In my case, I installed both the ICA driver and the EpsonScan software specific for OS X 10.6 for the Epson Perfection 4490 Photo scanner.
    Unfortunately, Epson's Lion page:
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supportLion.jsp
    points you to Apple's Software Update page for Epson drivers for Lion. While this is generally good advice (these were needed and appropriate for Image Capture and Photoshop CS6), the older 10.6 drivers and software from Epson are also required for Adobe Acrobat Pro X to "find" the scanner.

  • Epson 4490 Scanner won't work, Epson 1260 does- recent upgrade 10.4.4

    I just upgraded last week to 10.4.4 and my Epson Perfection 1260 scanner software didn't want to load. I hooked the USB directly to computer (from USB hub) and no problems. This week I bought an Epson Perfection 4490 (have LOTS of slides to scan) and the application will not open. I keep getting error messages "The application Epson Scan quit unexpectedly."
    I have installed and uninstalled software from disc w/ scanner.
    I have downloaded software from Epson site.
    I have tried the www.hamrick.com software (that gives me the message that I don't have a scanner hooked up.)
    I have reparied disc permissions. I have run DiskWarrior.
    The system lists the scanner in the USB port, but ImageCapture can't 'see' it.
    Any thoughts? I emailed Epson tonight.
    Any ideas for Mac-compatible scanner that does 4 or more slides at a time if I can't get this (^%#_#) scanner to work?
    Thanks so much for your advice.

    I know I'm going to sound redundant here, but I have solved my problems with the Epson 3170 every time by trashing all the software associated with Epson scanner & Smart Panel; then reinstalling from the original CD that came with the scanner (including Smart Panel); then installing all the patches in chronological order from the Epson website. I've had to do this 3 times, with success each time (Jag, Panther, Tiger). It's a lot of work. Here are the exact directions from Epson support to trash all the associated files;
    Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
    To completely uninstall the scanner software please follow the steps below.
    UNINSTALL
    To ensure that all Epson Scan files have been removed from the system you
    would need to check for the following items in the Hard Drive. Please note:
    Not all files and locations will be present. If you do not find one of the
    items listed, please continue on with the next step.
    1. In HD (Hard Drive), APPLICATIONS - remove EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNER
    MONITOR, if present
    NOTE: If you receive an error that EPSON SCANNER MONITOR cannot be deleted
    because it is in use, go into HD, APPLICATIONS, UTILITIES and open ACTIVITY
    MONITOR. Highlight the EPSON SCANNER MONITOR process and click on QUIT
    PROCESS to quit the process. Close ACTIVITY MONITOR. You can now go back
    into the APPLICATIONS folder and delete EPSON SCANNER MONITOR.
    2. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT - remove the EPSON SCANNER MODULE
    folder.
    3. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove the ".ds"
    file bearing your scanner's name.
    4. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES - Open the EPSON
    folder and then delete the EPSON SCAN folder.
    Please Follow the steps below to uninstall your Smart Panel software
    1. Insert CD into CD Rom
    2. Double-click the SMART PANEL folder
    3. Double-click AMERICAN and then SMART PANEL UNINSTALLER
    4. Click YES to completely uninstall
    5. Restart your computer
    6. Go back to CD then SMART PANEL then AMERICAN and click on SMART PANEL
    INSTALLER to reinstall your software.

  • Epson Perfection V750 Pro Scanner

    Can anyone tell me if the Epson Perfection V750 Pro Scanner also scans documents, If not does anyone know of a similar scanner which does?

    It scans prints so I think it's just a matter of switching to a "Documents" setting in the software. I have a V700 but have never scanned documents on it. Any cheap flatbed scanner will scan documents so I wouldn't risk scratching your V750 glass or something if you can use something else.

  • Anybody using Epson 4490 scanner w/ Arch?

    Hi, folks--
    I need a good but reasonably priced photo scanner that works with Linux. I am finding that the choices are quite limited, but the Epson 4490 looks like a possibility. However, it requires the 3rd-party iscan driver to work with any Linux distro; the company that develops that driver tests a number of Linux distros, but Arch is not on their list. So, I'm wondering, does anybody use this scanner with Arch? Any voodoo required to make it work?
    BTW, let's please not talk about Wine or any other Windows-based solution. I do need to scan, and will do what I have to to make it work, but any non-pure-Linux approach is a last resort. I would be open to suggestions of other scanners, though.
    TIA for your thoughts.

  • EPSON Workforce 310 "scanner reported an error" when using document feeder

    I'm having trouble using my EPSON Workforce 310 printer/scanner with my new MacBook Pro (late 2012, 2.5 GHz i5, OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2).
    Using the flatbed I can scan without a problem. But when I try to use the document feeder, I get the following error right after I click Scan and before the scanner has done anything (at least I don't hear anything moving inside the EPSON):
         Scanner reported an error
         An error occured during scanning
    The EPSON's display doesn't show any error or special message.
    This is repeated whether I use Image Capture, Preview's Import from Scanner, or the printer's native app (PrinterProxy, the one that shows up in the doc whenever the printer is printing or scanning).
    I have no problem doing the scanning from my old iMac (2006, 2GHz Core Duo, Snow Leopard). After scanning to the MacBook fails I can walk over to the iMac and scan from there without problem and without resetting anything on the EPSON.
    The EPSON is connected the home network via ethernet to a Time Capsule. Both computers are connected to the network via WiFi.

    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.

  • Does the Epson Expression 1600 Scanner work in SL?

    Does the Epson Expression 1600 Scanner work in Snow Leopard? Did you have to install Rosetta to get it to work?
    I use my MacBook Pro for business and it is vital that everything I use works properly. From what I've seen on these posts, I may be waiting a long while to upgrade.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
    Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
