I have an Acer Scanwit 2720s. I bought it used a few months ago. I
couldn't get it to work on my desktop computer or my laptop computer. I
finally gave up trying after awhile.
I have gotten another desktop, and I am trying again, but still no
luck. Hopefully, somebody here will have some advice. I am beginning to
think that this is a problem with the scanner itself. I bought it used,
so I cannot return it. And I don't know of any way to prove it is the
problem or eliminate it. If it is broken, then I just need to buy a
different scanner.
Every time I try to use the scanner, I get an error message that the
scanner was not found. It says to check that the scanner is powered on,
and that the scanner is connected properly.
The scanner is powered on just fine. It does the startup sequence that
is mentioned in the manual. Connection is fine as well. I have even
bought a second scsi cable to rule out the cable. And I put a
terminator on the empty plug (I've tried it with and without). I have
also tried all of the scsi ID numbers, rebooting between tries.
I have also removed all twain files and totally reinstalled the
scanner.
I have two flatbed scanners, one scsi and one usb, both of which work
just fine with the computers.
Both desktops have windows 98. The laptop is win xp.
I had an scsi card already (non pci). I tried it with the old card and
the new card (pci card that came with the scanner). I have downloaded a
newer version of miraphoto and tried vuescan as well.
I just can't come up with any other reason why the scanner isn't
recognized by any of the computers.
