Subject: Scanning Application Force Quits on Mac OS 10.4

This bulletin was created to inform you of an error that may occur when opening a TWAIN-

compliant scanning application on a Macintosh computer running OS 10.4.

Description of Problem:

When launching a Twain-compliant scanning application after deleting your Epson Scan driver

with an Epson Scan uninstaller not compatible with your scanner model, the application will

force quit during start-up. For example, using a Perfection 4490 driver uninstaller to delete a

Perfection 3490 driver will cause your scanning application to suddenly close during start-up.

This issue affects the following TWAIN-compliant applications:

EPSON Creativity Suite When pressing the Scan button, the Scan

Assistant force quits

Copy Utility Force quits during start-up

Photo Impression Force quits during start-up

Photoshop Elements Force quits during start-up

Photoshop Force quits during start-up

Photoshop CS2 Force quits during start-up

This issue can also occur under the following conditions:

1) Dragging the Epson Scan folder (located in the Applications folder) to the Trash can

2) Upgrading your scanner and using the Epson Scan driver from the new scanner to

delete the driver from the older scanner, and then installing the new driver

Operating Systems Effected:

Mac OS 10.4 to 10.4.9

Affected Epson Scan Driver Versions:

2.70A or later

PSB.2007.04.001

Correct Procedure for Deleting Epson Scan Driver:

!Use the driver specifically written for your scanner model to uninstall the Epson Scan

driver.

!If you have more than one Epson scanner model on your computer, use the driver

specifically written for each scanner to uninstall its respective device driver.

!If upgrading from a Power PC-based Epson Scan driver to a Universal Binary driver,

first delete the Power PC driver using only the Power PC driver for your scanner model.

Then install the Universal Binary driver.

If the above procedure does not resolve the problem, then manually verify that the Epson

Scan files and folders, listed below, have been deleted.

!EPSON Scan (in Applications Folder)

!EPSON*********.ds (****** = scanner model)---located in the Library / Image Capture /

Subject: EPSON Scan TWAIN Ver. 1.28 for Mac OS 10.2 to 10.3

This bulletin was created to inform you of an updated Epson Scan Twain Driver (1.28A) for the

following models: Perfection 610/640/1200/1240/1250/1260/1640/

1650/1660/1670/2400/2450/3170/3200 series scanners, Stylus CX3200/CX5200/CX5400

multi-function devices, Expression 1600/1680/1640XL series scanners.

Reason:

The new Epson Scan driver improves functionality when scanning in Mac OS 10.3. See the

next section for the list of changes included in the new driver.

Driver Improvements:

•Enables Epson Scan to start when the Scan button is pushed.

•Enables Epson Scan to start even if the volume name (Hard Disk) on the desktop is

only 2 bytes (2 characters) in length.

•Eliminates the error “Epson scan cannot be started”, which occurs when the USB

cable is disconnected while Epson scan is loading.

•Corrects lock-up issues when using the Zoom tool in Epson Scan.

•Corrects functionality issues and mouse cursor lock-ups when using the Histogram

Adjustment, Tone Correction and Image Adjustment tools or when clicking on each

tool’s Title bar.

•Prevents Epson Scan from unexpectedly quitting when scanning two or more times

from PhotoShop with a Perfection 1250 scanner.

•Prevents Epson Scan from locking up when scanning from a Perfection 3200

scanner with a Firewire connection.

•Prevents Epson Scan from unexpectedly quitting when removing the Firewire cable

from a Perfection 3200 scanner while Epson Scan is open.

•Prevents the Epson Scan Utility from freezing when using the Perfection 1250 or

1260 scanner.

•Enables Epson Scan to launch properly when scanning from an Expression 1680/ or

1640XL with a Firewire connection.

Limitations of new driver:

•This driver does not support “Fast User Switching” in OS 10.3. This feature must be

turned off before using Epson Scan.

•You may receive an error “Epson Scan cannot be started” when trying to scan from

a Perfection 2450 that is connected to a USB 2.0 supported port. To avoid this error,

use a Firewire connection or a USB 1.1 only supported port.

•Not all the scanner models on this list support Color Restoration and Dust Removal

so these settings may be unavailable in Epson Scan.

•If experiencing unstable operation when scanning from a Perfection 1250 or 1260

scanner, restart your system.

•If the computer goes into “sleep mode” and this setting was enabled in the Apple

Menu and you try to switch to a different mode after doing a preview scan in

Photoshop, the Epson Scan driver will freeze. This does not happen if the computer

goes into “sleep mode” after screen saver has started. To avoid lock-ups, change

the scanning mode before the computer goes into “sleep mode” or re-launch Epson

Scan after the computer wakes up and then change modes.

•After scanning with the Perfection 1250, if you then close Epson Scan and

disconnect the USB cable, a scanner model selection dialog box may appear on the

screen. Click “No” and the box closes. You can scan normally afterwards.

Action:

The new driver is available on the Epson web site. Go to www.epson.com and click on Drivers

& Downloads. Select your scanner model. On the Downloads page look for TWAIN Driver and

Epson Scan Utility v.1.28A in the Macintosh section.

To Install Epson Scan 1.28A:

1. Launch the EPSON Scan Installer and follow the on screen instructions.

2. After the TWAIN has been installed, connect the USB or Firewire interface cable from the

scanner to the computer.

To Uninstall Epson Scan 1.28A:

1. Disconnect the USB interface cable from the scanner.

2. Launch the EPSON Scan Installer.

3. Open the drop-down menu where you see “Easy Install” and select “Uninstall”.

4. Click the Uninstall button.
