Hi Guys..
I had the program 2 years ago but i can't remember the details
if u like tell me how to send u what ever u want to..
Any way the idea of this function as much as i remembered is depending mainly on a program downloaded from the net named Twian or Tawin as i think ..
* This program connects the scanner with the Oracle forms.
* In Forms u have to make an OCX then import the file program within it.
The many packages and Functions Generats automatically through this program..
* The idea of Coping the File from the Scanner to the Forms is depending on the idea of coping any file it's an OS function mainly.
Any Suggestions to the way i can help u r Welcomed..
Abdetu.

  • I want to be able to use 2 different scanner machines (A4 and A3). I have installed the 2 drivers. When I switch usb cables to use the other scanner in I get the message saying there is no scanner installed. I can see the 2 machines in the printer list.

  • Bar code not scanned by scanner machine.

    Hello!
           Problem is there after print the report, bar code is not scanned by  scanner.
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    Do you use crystal report or standard Print Layout?
    if you use Crystal Report, Normally we use font "Code39"
    Try this:
    Add  asterick ( * ) between the text you want to scan.
    e.g.
    asterickDOCNO123456asterick
    asterick is the symbol with no space in between.
    and change the whole string font to Code39
    nd.Q

  • I have reinstalled with Canons driver kit 2005b för Windows 7 64 bit. All works fine until the scann

    Hi!
    After Windows update in april 2014 I cant any longer use the scanning funktion via network from Canon MF8330 Cdn multifunktion printer/fax/scanner machine! It worked fine Before the april Windows update installation.
    I have reinstalled with Canons driver kit 2005b för Windows 7 64 bit. All works fine until the scanner installation ends, then system report that it cannot install the scanner and I have to try installing again. I have done that now several times but it helps not. I Think it has something to do with that the Canon scanner drivers isn´t 64 bit files, or the problem is that windows update has replaces saome dll file to a never version that not work with Canon drivers. 
    I have seen that there is a service pack 1 from Canon för Windows 8 and 8,1, can I use that service pack to get a never dll file for scanner or work this only for windows 8 version.
    Have someone a solution to this! I have contacted the Canon support already and they say that its a Microsoft problem!
    Very thanful for help in this case!
    Greetings

    Hi!
    I am installing the drivers from Canons site. It is the newest version 2005b for Windows 7 64 bit to MF8330Cdn Canon multifunction printer/fax/scanner. Installation goes well for the printer and fax but not for scanner drivers. The error message is Could not install the scanner. In device manager is there then a unknown device under Image devices. In Device Manager I try to update drivers, but it does not help either, error message is access denied. I am logged on the system with administrator account, therfore it is strange that I get the error message access denied.
    I tried earlier to do system restore back to previous time, but it did not work, error was that the system could not do the system restore because of access rights.
    is there anything else I could do.
    Here is the MF36SCN.inf file for scanner installation from Canon, if it can help You to go further with the problem. Is there something strange in the inf file that does not work in Windows 7 64 bit Windows, something shows that ther is also same 32 bits parts in the inf file.
    Greetings

    How I fixed it, at least for now:
    1. I've been using OC Genie for a few days, it has been working great on Windows but I guess it was causing many games to crash to the desktop so I decided to turn it off, since then the memory issue started to happen, since this morning.
    2. I can only think of my computer got OC Genie addicted, like addiction to crack or cocaine, and the memory, or call it nervous system, wanted more OC Genie, so it gave it to him and bingo, my 4GB readable, but then I used of trickery and deceit to disable OC Genie again and my 4GB is back again without OC Genie.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Installing Windows 7 Professional 64 bit drivers för Canon MF8330 Cdn printer/fax/scanner

    Hi!
    After Windows update in april 2014 I cant any longer use the scanning funktion via network from Canon MF8330 Cdn multifunktion printer/fax/scanner machine! It worked fine Before the april Windows update installation.
    I have reinstalled with Canons driver kit 2005b för Windows 7 64 bit. All works fine until the scanner installation ends, then system report that it cannot install the scanner and I have to try installing again. I have done that now several times but it
    helps not. I Think it has something to do with that the Canon scanner drivers isn´t 64 bit files, or the problem is that windows update has replaces saome dll file to a never version that not work with Canon drivers. 
    I have seen that there is a service pack 1 from Canon för Windows 8 and 8,1, can I use that service pack to get a never dll file for scanner or work this only for windows 8 version.
    Have someone a solution to this! I have contacted the Canon support already and they say that its a Microsoft problem!
    Very thanful for help in this case!
    Greetings

    Hi!
    I am installing the drivers from Canons site. It is the newest version 2005b for Windows 7 64 bit to MF8330Cdn Canon multifunction printer/fax/scanner. Installation goes well for the printer and fax but not for scanner drivers. The error message is Could
    not install the scanner. In device manager is there then a unknown device under Image devices. In Device Manager I try to update drivers, but it does not help either, error message is access denied. I am logged on the system with administrator account, therfore
    it is strange that I get the error message access denied.
    I tried earlier to do system restore back to previous time, but it did not work, error was that the system could not do the system restore because of access rights.
    is there anything else I could do.
    Here is the MF36SCN.inf file for scanner installation from Canon, if it can help You to go further with the problem. Is there something strange in the inf file that does not work in Windows 7 64 bit Windows, something shows that ther is also same 32 bits
    parts in the inf file.
    Greetings

  • How do I fix problem with linked and cropped image frames not printing properly when spanning pages?

    We are using InDesign (ID) to develop and print church bulletins which contain a combination of text frames and graphics. One of the graphic types we use are TIF files which are high-resolution scans of hymns.
    A hymn usually has a combination of the musical score, plus the lyrics - with many verses., so the modular structure is 'staff' composed of a treble clef, followed by verses, followed by a base clef.
    If the example above had 6 verses instead of one, we would crop the image by adjusting the frame, so that the treble clef and the desired verses showed through the frame.
    We would then copy and link the frame - piggy back - adjusting the next content window etc....so we build a custom version of the music as a series of linked frames - each with the same base image, but a different frame position.
    So this works fine, when we do this on a single page, but when we then add a 'last staff' at the top of the following page, we encounter print problems with some output devices.
    Imagine a two-page spread, with a full page of music on the left, and the last staff (treble clef, verses, base clef) unit as a separately linked frame at the top of the right page of the spread.
    It displays correctly, and will print individually as pages correctly, but when we print it as a booklet, the last frame drops out and we have blank space.
    I can print the document to PDF and it works fine, but if I print it to a copier or laser printer I get drop out.
    It is inconsistent.
    Previews are always okay. Individual page prints are okay, but when you print the entire document, the last frame in this kind of linked series gets blanked.
    If we create and name the image differently, and call it in as a new image - (not linked to the previous), but it is still a large image that is cropped to a small piece, then it doesn't print.
    If we save the last frame as a different image type (take the TIFF file into photoshop, crop it and save it as a jpg - so it is only the 'snippet') and then import it, it works fine.
    So my question to you InDesigners....is there some setting or tip or trick I need to know to be able to link a series of frames with the same base image, but different crops and make it span across two pages properly.
    Or do we need to play this game of crop and trim the image so that it doesn't drop out?
    Any thoughts, advice, direction would be gratefully received!

    I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
    I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
    I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
    So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution.

  • A Case Study Question in the Use of Stills with Final Cut Pro

    Believe it or not, for the last week I have been reading endlessly about pixels, resolution, aspect ratio, Photoshop resizing, the bloody battle over the usefulness of the term "dpi" in video discussions, and generally about what one should do in order to use still images in a film edited in Final Cut Pro. And yet, though I have a PhD from an Ivy League university, and can understand a lot of things, I am sorry to say I am still at a loss.
    Much of the discussions of photos on forums like this one are either quite technical or broadly philosophical. But my questions are completely practical and specific. I am not a photographer or a printer, nor am I an experienced editor. I am just a fairly smart person trying to use photos in his film. So I am going to ask some specific questions and hope for specific answers, without any philosophical waffling or technical mumbo jumbo.
    I have one of those HP all in one printer/fax/scanner machines. I am told this device, while not fancy, is perfectly adequate to the task. Some of my photos I scan with this device from prints. Some of them I get from other people. (I have stopped downloading photos from the web, as the quality is nearly always poor.) I have Photoshop Essentials (not Photoshop). I am making a 90-minute HDV documentary, 16x9. The doc is mostly HDV footage with a still here and there. I want to be able to move on the photos (zoom, pan, etc.). I want, obviously, for them to look good. My sense is that the work flow is: (a) scan the photo (or obtain from some source as a digital file); alter the photo in some way in Photoshop; and (b) import the photo into your FCP project.
    Question #1: If I have a 6x8 print, what settings should I scan it in with -- is it possible there really is no difference between scanning in it at 72dpi and 300dpi? Is it really all about the dimensions of the image? Isn't a photo whose dimensions are enlarged in Photoshop to make it available for panning and zooming in my sequence going to look fuzzier and more pixelated if it was originally scanned at 72dpi than at 300dpi? Also: Does it matter if I save it as a jpeg or tiff? Bottom line: What settings do I use in my scanning software when I scan a photo for this purpose?
    Question #2: Once I have the image file on my hard drive, I suppose I now have to load it into Photoshop Elements and do something to it. What is it exactly I am using this program for? I'm going to take a wild guess. I use PS Elements to (1) crop the photo so that it has a 16x9 aspect ratio, and (2) resize it so that I can do pans and other Ken Burnsy moves on it in FCP. Bottom line: What exactly do I do in PSE to the photo and what settings do I use to both (a) make it available for moves and (b) not injure the quality of the photo by increasing its dimensions?
    (In passing, I will say that I have done experiments that show that if I increase a photo's dimensions to, say, 4000 pixels by 2000 pixels, the photo's quality definitely and obviously suffers. I don't understand how a picture can be increased in size without losing sharpness. So, what am I doing wrong? Is this a function of it having been scanned in improperly to begin with?)
    Question #3: If I am obtaining a photo from an outside source -- say, a professional photographer -- what are the specifications I ask for in both a hard print and a photo file? If the former, what dimensions do I ask for? If the latter, do I specify resolution and dimensions and file type?
    These are my questions. At this point, I really don't want to know WHY any of this is the way it is. I just want someone to say: "Do this; do this; and then do this."
    Thank you very much.

    Studio X is absolutely correct; while DPI has no meaning in the video world, it often has significant meaning in scanning (and, of course, printing). If your scanning program only allows image size adjustments in DPI, then you'll have to adapt to that ... keeping in mind that the scanner's DPI setting directly relates to pixel resolution. And it is pixel resolution (not DPI) that will make all the difference in the world for images used in video. You can test this yourself by scanning an image at 1000 x 1200 @ 72 DPI and again at 1000 x 1200 at 300 DPI. They will look identical on TV or projection as long as the pixel resolution remains the same.
    As an example, my Epson scanning software allows me to adjust image size by DPI or pixel resolution. Wanting to maintain the correct aspect ratio for the image area that I'm scanning, I adjust the DPI setting which in turn adjusts the pixel resolution automatically. But it doesn't work the other way around; if I adjust the pixel resolution settings manually, the DPI setting does not change. Your software may vary.
    As Jim Cookman suggested, a scan setting of 300 DPI works well for most images ranging from 3 x 5 to 4 x 6 (typical snapshot size) in a DV Sequence. I may scan smaller images at 400 or 600 DPI and larger images (8 x 10 and up) at 150 DPI. Other size images fall in between those numbers. But I'm constantly watching the pixel resolution numbers to make sure I'm getting what I'll need to support the animation I intend to apply to the images once in FCP. Also bear in mind that I don't always scan the entire image. I only scan the area of an image that I intend to use in my program.
    So the answer is that it all depends on your scanner's software and how far you plan to push into an image once in FCP. Do a few experiments ... you're a bright fellow so it shouldn't take long for you to find the formula that suits your purposes.
    I haven't edited an HD Sequence using images yet, so I cannot offer definitive pixel resolutions for you there.
    On to your specific questions:
    1. See above. There is no one correct answer It all depends on what you intend to do with the image once it's in FCP. If you only plan to push in about 10%, you won't need much higher resolution than the equivalent of your FCP Sequence resolution. If you plan to push in further, you'll need a higher resolution to support that move.
    2. I've been doing these for many years (SD Sequences only) and I've never loaded them into Photoshop first. I import the entire folder into FCP and drop it on the Timeline so I can see what the images look like on TV; unless your program is for CD-ROM or web delivery, that's where it counts. When you place them on the Timeline, FCP will automatically scale to your Sequence settings and pixel aspect ratio. If I see that some of them need adjustment using an external editor such as Photoshop, then and only then do I use that program. And by the way, if you have a vertical image and a 16 x 9 aspect ratio in FCP, how do you propose to crop it to fit? Perhaps you meant another term instead of "crop."
    3. If it's a print, it won't matter what size they supply because you'll control the image size when scanning. If it's a file ... once again, the size (pixel resolution) depends on what you intend to do with the image once in FCP.
    I really don't want to know WHY any of this is the way it is. I just want someone to say: "Do this; do this; and then do this."<<</div>
    With that attitude, how did you ever earn a PhD from an Ivy League university? But if that is truly all you want, you might consider hiring an experienced editor to do it for you.

  • Lightroom = Overrated, misdesigned and buggy.

    So I have been using the V1.0 version of Lightroom, and all I can say is that it is overrated and most of it is just plain junk.
    Don't get me wrong, the DEVELOP module is extraordinarily good, really really good, but the DEVELOP module has been surrounded by such copious crap that the overall program itself becomes a burden to use in any productive way.
    Let's start with the library... what a joke. You have to import everything, a time consuming process that is utterly unnecessary if you just want to look through your files. It is buggy, slow and utterly network unfriendly. You can't copy, you can only move. It is completely unfriendly to network storage, taking 1.5 hours to do the same batch rename that a piece of shareware does in 7 minutes. The DAM capabilities are second rate at best. All for what? So I can search for keywords????
    The Slideshow... useless. What good is a slideshow that doesn't let you do image ranking during a client presentation. I guess that we are expected to use pencil and paper.
    Web galleries... the provided versions are amateurish at best... and the whole thing in written in some Klingon variant of XML which requires a PHD in programming just to create (or even change) a simple template.
    Printing... nice but useless to me, since I send everything to a commercial printer, and the stupid module won't generate a JPEG that I can upload to the lab. And no, a simple export doesn't do it... tell me how to add a 1/4 inch margin to an 8x10x300 print file using export... can't be done.
    Like I said, the DEVELOP module is fabulous. Give the Library a standard file browser capability (using just XMP sidecars), give the HTML generator a token based design so mere mortals can code for it, allow export from the print module, and make the slideshow actually useful for something and then the full program will be worth the effort.

    I have been using Adobe Lightroom 1.0 for the last 3 weeks or so. I keep reading rave reviews but Im having difficulty seeing what others see. Here are some observations regarding Lightroom as a photo organizer specifically the Library module from someone (me) who is already familiar with ACDSee as an organization tool
    1. Lightroom, like other Adobe products, eats an enormous amount of resources on my PC. Loading the program with even a moderate-sized database is slow especially if I am backing up the database frequently. Navigating around can be very sluggish. (I have 1GB of memory. Maybe more would help...?)
    2. Lightroom can only see folders and photos that have already been imported into the Lightroom database. If you temporarily leave the program to process some RAW files somewhere else, for example, the JPEG or TIF files created will be invisible in Lightroom, until you import them. I think this is a stupid concept. In ACDSee, you can see everything from within the program even files that have been added using 3rd party software outside of ACDSee. Simply browsing adds stuff automatically to the database.
    3. It is not possible to drag and drop photo files from Lightroom into another program one of the drawbacks of non-destructive file editing, I suppose. I drag & drop all the time with ACDSee and actually, it is a pretty important tool if you make use of a virtual system (categories, ratings, keywords, etc.) to organize your pictures. I print with Qimage, for example, and I have trouble finding photos based on the hard drive folder structure. But if ACDSee is open in category view, I can drag and drop the photos I want to process into Qimage. This is impossible with Lightroom.
    4. It seems that Lightroom will only handle 2 external editors and one of them is Photoshop by default! Sometimes I want to send a photo to Qimage (for printing) or to DxO Optics Pro or NX (for RAW processing), or PTGui (for panorama processing). Every time I try to do this, I must change the External Editor preferences and hunt down the EXE file required to launch the program I want to use. Pretty cumbersome, I think. ACDSee allows setting up these programs so they appear as choices in the Edit menu, and it allows full use of drag and drop.
    6. I think the Lightroom Loupe view screen is too small unless you close up all the sidebars. But if you are editing, you need to keep at least the develop sidebar (on the right) open. This leaves the full-size view rather inadequate, I think.
    7. The small font is not very small. In the Library, I cannot see many of my Folders or Collections on the left without a lot of scrolling. And there is no way to distinguish between the Folder list and the Collection list they look the same and they both scroll in the same list! A different color or font option would help. The headings for these groupings (Folders, Collections, etc.) disappear from view when scrolling, making it even more difficult to figure out where I am! Poor design!
    8. What is the point of the filmstrip? There is already a grid view. Isnt the filmstrip a little redundant? Granted you can make it disappear, but whats the point of having it there in the first place? It just eats up valuable real estate on a screen that is already way too cluttered.
    8. I like the Lightroom develop module okay, but it is not as good as Photoshop CS2 for photo editing, or Capture NX for raw conversion both of which I can easily access from within ACDSee.
    9. I do like the Lightroom renaming template. It facilitates a variety of renaming options and is more flexible than the offering in ACDSee. But right now, this is about the only thing I have found to be more usable in Lightroom.
    I have decided that Lightroom is sort of like one of those do everything printer/fax/scanner machines. While it can be handy, it doesnt do any of one those functions particularly well. Better to have 3 separate devices each dedicated to one of those functions exclusively.

  • 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.

  • Mustek Scanexpress A3 USB 1200 Pro Problems

    Hello. I can't get my Mac Desktop Pro to recognize my new scanner since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Mustek's website doesn't have a new driver and I am waiting for a response to my e-mail that I sent 2 days ago.
    Anyone else have this problem or a solution?
    Thanks;
    Henry

    I have adopted a work around to solve (my) problem.
    I don't trust Mustek nor Apple to find a solution any time soon, or later.
    I'm using a virtual machine created with Parallels Desktop 4. VMWare can be used too.
    I use the virtual machine as a "layer" that supports a scanner application. I mean, with Windows 7 running, optimized for speed, set with a large virtual memory and the strictly necessary programs running in the background.
    The virtual machine itself was optimized accordingly with my MacMini.
    Once I got this light and fast machine and a fast and light Windows 7, I installed "Vuescan", and (among other preferences), I set it to save the scanned files in the Mac Desktop.
    It runs and scans even faster that in the previous OS X Leopard, when ironically the scanner drivers ran natively in the Mac and with Photoshop CS3 and CS4 (for MAC)
    Here you have some shots of my configuration:
    Parallels machine menu: The scanner-machine in suspend mode for faster start:
    http://img.skitch.com/20091031-geqkrjwakfjnusxw7w6k73p5qm.jpg
    The machine selected and ready to start:
    http://img.skitch.com/20091031-gkkpwsaia7a7axu3e2g7tq8rsw.jpg
    The (application) started maximized in the machine, so it looks like the application running by itself on the Mac desktop:

    Making a preview with the scanner:
    http://img.skitch.com/20091031-bia7w5pucb9rfx7isjsbg5dwwq.jpg
    Scanning the selection field:

    Setting up the default "Save" folder:
    http://img.skitch.com/20091031-rk6ekhjcygkbkd8y8up3kg3hdj.jpg
    File saved conveniently on my desktop, so I don't have the go for it through the virtual machine and do additional steps like drag 'n drop or copy and paste:
    http://img.skitch.com/20091031-j7bs7pxuaftcpxx3finx428tx3.jpg
    This can be made using Windows XP, Vista and any other application for scanning, i.e. Photoshop.
    I will stick with this solution until I can!

  • FocusListener on JTextField

    Hi,
    I have a JFrame with 10 JTextFields in it. I have a Barcode scanner machine that scans number on a bill. As soon as the number is scanned, the number gets printed in the first text field.
    The problem is that I have added FocusListener to the JTextField so that as soon as the barcode number (length is 11) is filled in the text field, it shoud move to next text field.
    I am having problems here. As soon as my programme stars working, the focus is on to the first text field and the focus listener gets fired, but I wanted to do some action in the focusGained() only when the text field is filled with 11 digits of number and then move to next textfield.
    any idea on how to do this. A sample code snippet would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Mathew

    Hello Mathew
    I am too using barcode in My APP.
    any way what I think is you should add javax.swing.event.CaretListener
    to textfield
    text.addCaretListener(this);
    public void caretUpdate(javax.swing.event.CaretEvent e)
    if(e.getDot()==11|| txtBarcode.getText().length()==11)
    txtNext.requestFocus();
    }

  • How do I fix problem with Smart Sharpen & CR as filter

    Smart Sharpen doesn't apply (or apply completely).   Photoshop CC on Mac OSX 10.7.5
    new merged layer > Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen > adjust sliders > toggle Preview > click OK (progress bar) > nothing or 50% applied
    1. Smart Sharpen (SS) shows changes from sliders in SS dialog box AND on underlaying image in PS  but  checking and unchecking the Preview box only toggles the image in PS, the SS dialog box does not change.
    2. After clicking 'OK' SS does not  seem to apply at normal ranges but when the radius is cranked up to super ugly it appears to apply at about 50% (Opacity and Fill are at 100%).
    Related Problem:
    After using 'Camera Raw as a filter' on a new merged layer, then adding a layer mask, and then painting with a brush at 100% opacity and Flow, it appears that only about 50% opacity is applied to the mask from the brush.

    I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
    I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
    I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
