Try using MagicScan instead... it works very well with my old Umax 610 and I am told and have read that it works with your model... MagicScan is Umax's 'top of the line' scanner s…

Last I checked, it didn't work with USB scanners. I'd really like to knwo what's causign these Finder-quits....

MagicScan has been recently updated, you had best check it again...

No dice.....MagicScan's install forces the Finder to quit too.....a little later in the install, but still no good. Help!!! What's the problem?!

I believe there is a link on the webpage of umax referencing this problem to a lack of power going through the scanner. You might want to check the page and pull down the latest d…

Hello, I think I have some similar problem. When I try to install software that quits the finder in the beginning of the installation procedure (including Vistascan for my Astra 1…

I found that I couldn't install unless the OS 8 extensions were ON. I assume that the installer looks for ColorSync or something. I also found that if you're running the updater,…

my astra 610s worked great until I upgraded to MacOS9. I was running 8.6 and all was fine the only change was the OS. I am using magic scan 4.3 the latest version. The SCSI card…

I found that having the scanner switched on and warmed up during the installation, stopped the installer quitting to the finder. Dhanu

Make sure you have ColorSync installed before installing VistaScan. Solved the problem for me.

Try using Custom install instread of easy install - it works for me. Easy install quits the Finder. MacOS 8.6, Astra 610s

I've had endless probs over the years with UMAX scanner s/w installers--on top of which on a slow line (which I have no more!) it's a killer-lomg d/l. That's why I got an Agfa 1212…

If you use a UMAX 2000/2100U scanner, there is one file that it installs, which will immediately cause the system to crash: VS Control Strip (version 3.5.1). The fix is to remove t…

I just installed the DA, the TWAIN Driver and the MagicMatch Engine and it all installed. Did I really need the Magic Match Engine? This works for Magic Scan as well as Vista Sca…

ouch man that sucks!! i got the same system and the same scanner and it worked for me with no problem. i do occasionaly have problems with scanning though...

So, the scanner software bites, great, is there any other scanner software that is written for the mac that I can use on my umax 1220?

I have had zero trouble with MagicScan as I said previously. There are reports that other have had success with it and your scanner model. see versiontracker for the most recent M…

I also have a Umax 1200S that is incompatable w/ my G4 as well as my G3. VistaScammmm is a nightmare! I'm very close to trashing the scanner & more importantly the software aft…

have you tried Umax's MagicScan instead? see above post(s) re: MagicScan

Since MagicScan and VistaScan fail THE SAME WAY as I noted above, I'll reiterate what worked for me: " I just installed the DA, the TWAIN Driver and the MagicMatch Engine and it a…

sorry that i wasn't complete in my reading of the thread... Graphic Converter does have TWAIN acquisition now, but i have not used it

I understand PaperPort doesn't work with Mac OS 9. Is there any other software that works with it? The scanners are still very useful, and although I'll have to get a SCSI to USB…

Has Visioneer indicated they will not have an update to their Paperport driver that supports Mac OS 9? That would be unacceptable, and pretty foolish of them, since a Mac and a Pa…

I have been using a PaperPort Vx for years, it is the easyest way to scan documents into my computer, but i also have a flatbed for books and such, and i can't beleve that they won…
