Scan button in image capture is greyed out

I have an Epson Workforce 545 connected wirelessly to my network and had been using Image Capture for scanning.  When I went to use Image Capture today the "scan" button is greyed out..  I have all the newest software updates.
Using MacBook Air I get an error message w Iage Capture although printing works fine.

I found another thread suggesting drawing a box around the scan field.  That seems to work.

  • Can I scan documents with Image Capture?

    I can no longer scan documents with my HP printer now that I have Maverick.  I can scan pics with Image Capture.  Is there any way to scan documents with image capture or with some other software? 

    Don't feel bad you are not alone.  I have a HP photosmart C4780.  Since upgrading to Mavericks it has been difficult to use the scan feature except via image scan.  I spent well over a month on the HP forums trying to discern whether or not new drivers were being developed and essentially got the run around.  Very crappy service from HP.  I'll not purchase one of their products again.  It appears that my all in one (which I brought through the Apple Store) is obsolete.  Anyone got any advice.  I'm contemplating seeing how many pieces it will shatter into upon being launched from my window.

  • Setting Adobe Acrobat as a scan destination in Image Capture?

    Is there a way of setting Adobe Acrobat as the default scan destination in Image Capture?

    Yes, I can do that...but is there a way of setting it as a default?..so that it pops up in the main choices...(alongside Preview, Aperture, etc) so that I don't have to go and look for it every time.

  • HT4505 I see my scanned picture in image capture but how do you get it to iPhoto?

    I can see my scanned picture in image capture but how do you het it in iPhoto or on your desktop?

    Hello:
    It has options to "scan to..."  If I scan using Image Capture, I scan it to the desktop (jpeg).  If you want to get it into iPhoto, open iPhoto and import the picture.

  • Is it possible to scan without preview/ image capture??

    These programs are useless for scanning. Every time I try to scan something it automatically guesses where the image is cropped. It gets it wrong almost every time and there is no way of turning it off.
    I tried clicking the more details button but my scanner sends an error message whenever I do. Therefore both Preview and Image Capture are stuck in basic mode. I also tried finding Epson Print/ Scan software and new driver updates by Apple, but no joy there I'm afraid.
    I have an Epson DX4400, it works fine - but only with Preview and Image Capture. It won't work with any other programs I know of (such as Photoshop etc). As far as I'm aware there's no TWAIN driver available, so how is it possible to scan without doing it through Preview?
    This *****!

    Hi DLThomas & welcome to discussions...
    Have you taken a look at VueScan...best out there that I know of - seems to do everything scanning related well - tons of options without the compatibility grief.

    Grab the demo and see for yourself if it meets your workflow, etc.
    Good luck in any case.

  • Scanning transparencies with image capture/preview

    We have just bought an epson v600 scanner. We have Lion so we need to use image capture or preview to scan with the it; this is not a problem for twhat we hope to use it for.
    When we first used it, we scanned some small pics to see what they looked like like. Then we scanned some negatives using an drop-down option called something like Transparencies (negative). Worked out okay. Then we scanned some more pics, again with no problem.
    However, now we want to scan some more transparencies. However, we no longer have the drop-down that lists transparencies. How do we get that back? What did I do to make it disappear?

    I've got the same problem w/my Epson perfection3490. Hope someone can help us both.

  • Best app. for scanning other than "image capture"

    Yesterday I purchased a mbp (10.7.1) and my old scanning program (Photo Studio) that came with my CanoScanLIDE 600 F, is no longer compatible. I don't care for "image capture" is there an alternative (preferably free) that would work?  Thanks for any reccomendations.

    VueScan is considered by many to be the gold standard.  But I personally don't like it for my own scanner (Epson Perfection 1260).  YMMV, of course.  It is free to download and try out, but anything you scan with it will be watermarked.  If you like it you will have to register it ($40 IIRC) to fully unlock it. 

  • Scanning, Preview and Image Capture Problems

    I've now attempted to do this, using three different, new printer/scanner machines. I've been attempting to scan a document (Epson 7400 and Epson XP-400 and HP Photosmart 310c) using Lion and a MacBook Pro. The scanners hum and haw and do "their thing," but then only a scanned image appears in the Image Capture window. Preview never opens. If I force Preview to open, then I get only partial scans, of the very bottom or the very top of the page that was scanned.
    I've re-installed software multiple times for the scanners, but have run out of ideas and patience.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Apple's official documentation only provides an information about printing by using this device - scanner is not listed. I would suggest to look for specific drivers on Canon's official webpage.

  • My add event button on the calendar is greyed out on my ipad mini with iOS 7 how do I fix this?

    I just downloaded iOS 7 onto my ipad mini and went to add an event in my calendar but the plus button is greyed out and I can't click it. Any suggestions. Thanks.

    I had the same problem until this moring. Using Google, go to the black bar (+you, search, images, more) and hit +you. That should activate the Plus key. Hope it works with your ipad, too.

    Hi Mark/Nick
    I have configured status profile for VOID correctly.
    Status 50, System Status 009, Low value 10 and High Value 20.
    However, VOID button is still greyed out. In other system we have configured with the same status profile values and VOID button is working fine in other system. We are not able to figure out what went wrong. Is there any authorizations missing for my User ID ?. Your help in this regard is appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Another Epson scanning problem with Image Capture

    I've been having problems scanning with an Epson CX5600 for the previous month. I can print just fine, just can't scan with Image Capture or Vuescan (not so good free software). I always get "An error occurred during scan". I've tried repairing permissions, installing Gutenprint/cups drivers, all epson drivers on the site, and deleting ALL drivers in /Library/Printers/, which later it proceeded to download the Epson drivers automatically and still fail. Any idea? My dad's unibody MacBook works just fine with Photoimpression 5 and Image Capture.

  • Encore button thumbnail image capture - then disable

    Hi all
    One of the good features of encore, that is most useful for inexperienced users
    is the button thumbnail image/video extraction
    however the facility to retain the image capture seems locked with the functional button presence on the dvd menu
    have i overlooked a method of disabling of this within encore without loss of image capture, or is it a photoshop requirement
    Any suggestions
    Regards
    Robert

    Hi John
    your solution seems like the most workable solution so far for video display in this button thumbnail, this does work quite effectively although the button is still present.
    thanks for this, heres some further solutions/info we have
    PHOTO ONLY DISPLAY after firstly setting the link of the button to the relevant imported image timeline to complete thumbnail capture choose - convert the button to an object
    this effectively traps the image capture and resolves the issues of navigation and retains the auto button route.
    VIDEO DISPLAY
    The preview feature - render motion menus may be a good solution for the video thumbnail however it is exported in mpg and the quality may be reduced
    the render motion menus facility will compile a video from the items visible at any time.
    example
    Hide from view all non required items in the motion background ie other buttons and text items
    excluding the thumbnail button and background
    then by setting the link of the button to the relevant chapter or video to complete video capture
    choose - render motion menus
    encore compiles a video background with the video thumb nail included and saves it in the respective project sources/menus folder named Video_Bpgc_Asf.mpg
    by importing a copy of this into your project (must be a copy)
    and using this as the motion background to the menu, all navigation issues and auto button routing are solved
    after of course deleting or disabling the respective button from the menu and reactivating all hidden buttons and text etc.
    or am i being lazy and trying to avoid a jump to another software to do this ?
    Regards
