Anyone know about UMAX Astra 1220P scanners?

I checked the instruction manual for that particular scanner and they don't mention Windows NT, 2000 or XP in it so it's likely that it may not be compatible with XP.\n\nHere is the link to the instruction manual:  ftp://199.227.206.171/user-guides_manuals/astra_1220s/a1220addendum.pdf\n\nDoes Windows XP detect it when you connect it?  Sometimes XP uses native (built-in) drivers for older equipment.

do a search on the internet for the brand name of your scanner.  You can sometimes even put in the model number along with the name of it and it will bring up a page to download the drivers.  I hope this helps!

Hello, you might want to try this one. I've had very good luck getting rid of trojans, viruses, adware, spyware and other malware with this scanner. It's called Spybot Search & Destroy and it's well recommended. It works well with Adaware so you don't have to worry about compatibilty. I have both on my pc. Good luck and hope this does it for you.

if you have a small amount of pictures, you can use a standard flatbed scanner to do the job.\n\nIf you have lots of pictures, and you are very organized, take the 35mm negatives to develop to a photo CD, that will save you some time,and they will have higher quality compared to scanning.\n\nLast and most expensive solution will be to buy a scanner with a photo feeder, that will allow you to scan the photos with relative ease, but expect to expend 200 USD or more. A good photo feed scaner is the Epson Perfection 2480 (jabout 150 on ebay with the photo feeder!!!).

Buying a all-in-1 machine is the best route.  You'll have warranty protection, updated features and drivers, and save some desktop space.\n\nFurthermore, the older scanners will no longer have drivers for Win XP and beyond, and no technical support whatsoever.

You must have a scanner that takes multipule scans(try dell).

You need a software for scanning which usually comes with the scanner. It's realy easy to operate the softwares once you opened it. You'll also need a driver.

Yes best to ask an expert. But as a guide, I'd say you're looking at a top of the range scanner if you plan on doing all that. Saying that, when you do see an expert, tell them you have about half as much to spend on it as you actually have. Say you'll go a little higher if they don't show you what you want. This way yo ushould get the best deal by getting a model that does all you want but without paying overthe odds for it.

This is the correct driver for the 1200 UB scanner to work under windows XP as downloaded off the official site.\ninstructions \n\n1) make sure you have uninstalled any previous attempts to install the software.\n\n2) log into windows XP as Administrator, note the Capital A!!!\n\n3) extract files into a dir and run the web.exe and it should install and be happy.

It should be in your Programs list on the Start Button inside the software for your scanner.... \nGood luck.

Every scanner comes with a software to enable its auto process.\n1- Go to Control panel and search there for the scanner software.\n2- If you could not find it there, check You start menu for it, or running Task s area (Near the clock).\n3- In control panel check Scanners and cameras.\n4- In that application there should be an ooption window enables you to modify these settings.\n5- If you could not get it, e-mail me.

I have never seen any of these and have no experience with whatever it is.. bookscouting scanner.  My books are big paper ones with covers and bindings I get from the library, so I don't need whatever this is you mention.

Potential problem is:\n\nDriver, connection, IRQ, software, compatibility of driver and operating system.  Without specific error message, it is hard to find out why your scanner is not working.

I've got one, and i wish i never had!!\nDispose of it, give to charity i could never get it running 100%.\nBelieve-me i tried. It was not a wise buy i can tell you.\nPrice for lexmark are very invitating but the hardware-software are a waste of money. I still have it for the sake of scanning but every time i turn it on i hide all baseball bats, hammers, bricks, etc i can see about. After no heavy objects are in sight, then i turn it on (when it does of-course). I've seen smoke, I've heard noises, I've felt electricity comming out of it. Next time it gives any sigh of life....i will stamp on it!!!\nSorry i couldn't help, but thanks i feel much better now!
