Logitech PageScan Color Scanner Problem

[Grampa]

This is an old scanner that is no longer manufactured or supported by Logitech and they don't seem to be able to understand the problem and can't suggest any solution. Here is the problem, to operate the scanner you feed a page into the scanner which activates the scanner and it grabs the paper and pulls through the scanner, you than can put a second page into the scanner and it should do the same thing page after page after page. The scanner used to do just that when I was running Windows 95, my new computer is running Windows 98 SE and now the scanner does the first page just fine and than grabs the second page and STOPS!!! It may be that the problem has to do with the operating system and there may not be any solution, but on the off chance that this has happened to somebody else here is the setup. The scanner has a parallel port adapter connected to the PCs parallel port, the scanner cable and power supply plug into the adapter and my Epson 600 printer is also connected to the adapter. This is exactly the same setup that worked correctly with Windows 95. Don't make me fire up my flatbed scanner!!!

Check the parallel port settings in the BIOS for your old machine, and see that the new PC has the same settings. E.g. EPP, ECP etc. I assume you're using the same scanner driver and parallel port cable.

You nailed it on the head!!! I didn't really want to dig out my old box so I checked to see how many possibilities I had. I found, output only, Bi-directional, EPP and ECP. It had Bi-directional selected, I changed to EPP and I could scan or copy as many pages as I wanted but the fax copy was still stopping on the second page. I experimented and found if after the first sheet I choose rescan before I put the second sheet in I could feed as many pages as I wanted. The ECP setting worked exactly the same. So now the only glich is that when we fax we send a blank sheet in first, click rescan and than feed in as many sheets as we need to.
