How to Calibrate TWAIN scanner DSMOBILE 600

My question is how can I calibrate my scanner, I cant find the answer anywhere - please help. Thanks. I have found this previous archived post, but the link is dead and I cannot find ImageCaptureSetupMaxOSX.pdf anywhere. Sad, probably this is exactly all I need.

how to calibrate dsmobile 600 and mac os:
http://www.pentaxtech.com/Products/DSMobile600/ImageCaptureSetupMaxOSX.pdf

That is an older HP MFD. HP's site says that OS X 10.3 and 10.4 are supported. It does not, repeat, does NOT mention 10.5. As the date on the installer is from 2006, I suspect that if that device was supported under 10.5 or later HP would have updated the site. Based on experience with other HP MFDs dating from before 2007, I would say that it is extremely unlikely that this device is still supported under OS X. I would contact HP, but I'd not hold out much hope. This is especially true as HP's site explicitly shows support for Vista and Win7, showing that the site has been updated since 2006, but there is simply no mention of OS X support beyond 10.4. The site also explicitly states that it supports PPC Macs, and does not mention Intel Macs. I think that HP has abandoned that device so far as OS X is concerned, but you might want to contact them to determine the actual facts.
You might also look at VueScan, which is 3rd-party scanning software which supports a lot of devices no longer supported by HP. VueScan might work. I don't know, I no longer use HP devices since my old HP PSC1350 stopped being supported under OS X 10.5 (and MS Vista) and HP Tech Support told me that they recommended that I buy a new MFD. (I did. I bought a Brother MFD, which works just fine with 10.5 and 10.6, and Vista, and Win7, as well as 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and XP.)

OSX Lion & Brother Scanner DSmobile 600 will not install driver

OSX Lion 10.7.2
Hardware: Brother DSmobile 600 (USB)
Software Driver: DSmobile600_Mac_1_2_4.dmg (OSX 10.6-10.7)
Scanner driver does not install - Scanner does not work
Procedure
Launch the Brother installer - goes through install procedure - forces a required restart
looked in BotherScanner folder - nothing there
Apparently the installer is not actually installing anything except the folder
Looked at the installer content - cannot see anything to install
Do not have the driver form the old OSX
The Brother DSmobile USB scanner did work in OSX6
Any solutions?

I discovered the asnwer to my own question for the benifit of anyone else.
Turn off all anti-virus software!
If you disable any installed security virus /network software etc., download the latest brother DS600 scanner dirver. the Brother scanning driver will install.
however you may have to run any repair software you have afterwards. e.g. Tech Tool Pro 6 and Cocktail.
The Brother DS600 scannr driver install is kind of rough.
The Brother DS600 Mobile scanner does work in Lion 10.7.2
In addition, the Brother DS600 mobile scanner driver installs in WIN 7. Same scenario turn off all anti-virus software before install. works

Calibrating Scanner Pentax DSmobile 600

I recently got a new scanner the Pentax DSmobile 600. The software that comes with it is windows only and I have to download the driver for OSX via their website. Now the scanner has to be calibrated and it has instructions to do this in windows but no instructions on how to do it using OSX. Right now I'm using it under VMware Fusion but I'd like a native solution for it. Anyone have any ideas on how to calibrate it? All I get when I scan in OSX is a blank document while under XP after calibration I am able to get a good quality scan. Thanks

The PDF worked great for me. The only step missing from the guide is to make sure that the scan window is not up (by default, it comes up when you open Image Capture), when you click the "Use TWAIN UI" button.
Driver:
http://www.pentaxtech.com/Support/Software/DSmobile/DSmobile600-Mac%20TWAIN.dmg
Calibration instructions:
http://www.pentaxtech.com/Products/DSMobile600/ImageCaptureSetupMaxOSX.pdf
On a side note, I realize that the Calibration feature is not true calibration. However, it's still necessary in order to get a usable scan with this scanner.
Additionally, with this scanner--which is made for size, not super high-quality graphics work, even if you went to the trouble of going through the steps you mention, the normal user is not going to notice, let alone care..

How can I install my twain Scanner into Elements 12

How can I install my twain Scanner into Elements 12? I tried the solution showed on Adobe Web (Copy the folder ImportModules from Optional Plug-ins to folder Plug-ins) and did not get results. Is there any other procedure to do? My computer is MAC. Thanks!!!

Hi Barbara.
1) I restarted the computer
2) The drivers are the latest
3) Samsung Multifuncional CLX-3185FW
4) OS X 10.9.4
I have Elements 8 Installed and recognize the scanner on the "import menu".
Any idea?
Thanks for the help.

Pentax DSmobile 600 with Image Capture only sayd "No paper loaded..."

I was using Paperless to scan documents, but Paperless is not fully working on Snow Leopard yet. I re-installed the Pentax DSmobile 600 TWAIN driver tonight, but I still cannot scan documents into my Mac.
If I select "Flatbed" as the Scan Mode, I can get it to "Overview" a document quite nicely. But when I tried to scan it it doesn't go well. When I use "Document Feeder" as the Scan Mode, Image Capture just sits there saying "No paper loaded..."
A workaround is to "Hide Details" at which point it seems to start allowing me to scan again.
Is this a bug with Image Capture?
To reproduce:
* Open Image Capture
* Choose Show Details
* Select "Flatbed" as the scan mode
* Select "Document Feeder" as the scan mode
* "No paper loaded..." displays on the screen, Scan button disabled.
* Click "Hide Details" and you can Scan again.

Does anyone happen to know if there are other SW packages that enable calibration of this scanner? I've already tried (and let expire) Paperless and currently have a brand new but useless dsmobile 600 sitting on my desk - which I ironically chose over other models because of the recommendation by Mariner software for this:
from http://www.marinersoftware.com/sitepage.php?page=152:
{quote}"Nearly any scanner will work with Paperless through the Image Capture method, however we strongly recommend using a TWAIN compliant scanner or Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M, Fujitsu ScanSnap S300M or Pentax DS mobile 600. We have found that Fujitsu and Pentax have the best drivers on the market at this time; your results may vary using any other scanner. "{quote}

How to install TWAIN plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS5

Adobe Photoshop CS4 listed my Epson Perfection V500 scanner as a selection under “File-Import”. When I installed Adobe Photoshop CS5, I noticed that scanner selection is not there. I contacted Epson technical support and they said Adobe Photoshop CS5 does not automatically install the TWAIN plug-in that it needs to recognize the scanner and that I need to contact Adobe technical support to find out how to add it.
How do I install the TWAIN plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS5 so it will recognize my Epson Perfection V500 scanner as a selection under “File-Import”?
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Thanks for your response.
I downloaded the "Photoshop CS5 Optional Plugins" file (PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip). I unzipped it and read the "ReadMeCS5_OptionalPlugin.pdf" file. In that file, the only section that discusses TWAIN is entitled "TWAIN (Mac only)". There is no section for how to install TWAIN for Windows.
How do I install the TWAIN plug-in for Windows?

Using a Twain scanner with Yosemite

I have a Macbook running 10.6.8, and I am trialling Yosemite by running it off a USB drive, to see if I can use my peripherals, notably a Canon LIDE 70 twain scanner.
Searching on the web indicates that Yosemite doesn't support Twain (why would Apple do this???), and therefore Canon hasn't produced a driver for an OS later than Lion. But there are several suggested workarounds, which generally involve copying Twainbridge from my existing system and perhaps using SANE. For example:
Jan Elgil offers a simple installation script for Twainbridge which is supposed to work in Yosemite.
McManus suggests installing several apps to set up SANE.
So far, nothing I have done works. After trying everything, my System profiler still shows that the scanner hasn't been configured, and when I go to Printer and Scanner in the System Preferences no scanners appear when I try to add my scanner. The scanner is definitely connected, because when I restart back in Snow leopard off my HD, the scanner works OK.
I am no expert, so I'm stumped, and would appreciate if anyone has a failsafe method to get Yosemite to recognise my scanner please.
Failing that, I'd appreciate any understanding of how this works. It seems like I need several things to make the scanner work:
the scanner to be connected
Twainbridge
A Canon LIDE 70 driver
SANE (is this in addition to Twainbridge or an alternative?)
Can anyone explain please what of these is required for Yosemite to recognise my scanner, or is something else required? Thanks.

Hi Raicya
Thanks for your interest. I downloaded a trial of version Vuescan, but this didn't help. It gave me this message:
"No scanner was found attached to your computer. If you have one, close this tip window, exit VueScan, turn on the scanner and run VueScan again."
So this confirms that Yosemite is not recognising the scanner, but as soon as I get out of Yosemite and back into Snow Leopard the scanner works.
So the problem seems definitely to be how to get an OS to recognise a scanner. Or the more general question - what is actually required so that the OS recognises a scanner? Is it the presence of a driver in the right place, or what?

How to calibrate my iPad battery gauge?

I heard that draining iPad battery to 0% is harmful to battery.So how I calibrate my battery gauge without fully discharging it?
I hope somebody will give me a clear answer to this.

When the guage says 0% the battery still holds a safe charge. The guage is only an indication, and the phone (being smart) ensures that the battery charge can get neither damagingly low or overcharged.
Once a month or so, run the iPad, ignoring battery warnings, until it powers itself down. Then plug it into its charger and charge it up to 100%. That's it. The battery couldn't care less about this procedure, but it will as you say calibrate the gauge.

How to import from scanner?

I have multifunction HP psc 2210xi all in one printer/scanner. I can print with no problem. But I couldn't figure out how to use the scanner. Does anyone here use a HP scanner on the iMac before? What step do I take to make it available to software like iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop element etc.?
Thanks in advance.

You cannot scan directly into iPhoto. Scan your photos into a file on your computer and then import that file into iPhoto by dragging it into iPhoto's window.
Have you looked at HP's support directions? See this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00033295&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en &tool=useCategory&product=79502&rule=1571&dest_page=useCategory
When asked for location for scanning, choose a file folder that you have created for your scans.
You should also do a search in this forum looking for more info on scanning. (I tried to do this for you, but for some reason Apple's site won't allow this right now).

How can I change scanner dpi?

I am scanning fabric and EQ7 says to do this. EQ7 says, "Do NOT change image size-(which I tried in photoshop) as this rescales the image.
Thanks in advance.

Assuming a recent Version of Windows OS and that you have installed the Full Feature Software for the printer, the following may help.
More information on installing the Full Feature Software:
Install Full Feature Software – Printer
=============================================================================
After the Full Feature Software is installed, the Printer Assistant (previously the Solution Center) shortcut is likely installed on the Desktop.
Start the Printer Assistant > select Scan a Document or Photo >
Select Photo to File > Under Resolution, in the Drop down menu >
Adjust the dpi as desired > CHECK Show scan Preview (if desired) >
Click Scan

Photosmart C3135 and Win7 32-bit: Nothing happens when application looks for TWAIN scanner

When I attempt to scan a check for my bank or input a picture to Open Office via TWAIN scanner, absolutely NOTHING happens.
This used to work; I think it worked after migrating from WinXP SP3 to Win7 Home Premium 32-bit.
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. No change.
Ran HPDoctor; it complained about and then "fixed" TWAIN. No change in Firefox (my bank) or Open Office. This all used to work.
Help?
Thanks,

How to calibrate an iPhone battery?

Hi, I took my iphone 4s to the genius bar at apple store today. Despite having terrible battery problems they told me to wait for ios 5.1 and to calibrate my iphone battery, I was also told that replacing the phone would not be a solution as it is a software based issue.
So I have been browsing the web on how to calibrate an iphone 4s battery and have found answers but they all seem different. Answers I discovered were:
1.
We must let the iPhone runs the entire burden of the battery, i.e. use it until it shuts down for lack of battery.
After the iPhone battery has run out, we let it sit for about 6 to 8 hours.
After this time because we can connect it to boot to load, this process should be left between 6 to 8 hours. (While it may use its load without disconnecting from the mains.)
Once the load, you can enjoy your iPhone newly calibrated.
2.
"First, plug your device into a charger and let it charge fully – leave it charging for another hour or two after its fully charged. Then, remove from the charging source and use your device like normal. Do not plug it into a charging source, but use it until the device decides to power itself off due to low battery. When that happens, plug in your device into a charging source and let it charge fully. During this time, it is completely safe to use your device."
Im still not sure how to calibrate an iphone battery.
Can anyone please tell me the correct method?

Calibrate iPhone Battery:
Use the iPhone until it it shuts OFF itself, due to Low Battery. Then Charge it back up without interruption, like unplugging it, to full charge 100%. Then before or after you do this, Reset iPhone, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off slider", let the iPhone restart itself.
