Scanning Images
- Run VueScan
- Insert image into scanner
- Set "Input|Media type"
- Press "Preview" button
- Adjust crop box with mouse
- Press "Scan" button
If the colors don't look quite right in
the preview, try clicking with the right mouse
button (with control key on Mac OS) on an area
of the image that should be gray.
To reset to the automatic color balance setting,
double-click on the image with the right mouse
button (with control key on Mac OS).
If the lighting in the scene is unusual (i.e.
at sunset or with stage lighting), try setting
"Color|Color balance" to "Neutral".
Using Scanner as Copier
- Run VueScan
- Set "Input|Scan task" to "Copy to printer"
- Set "Input|Media type"
- Set "Input|Media size"
- Insert image into scanner
- Press "Scan" button
- Repeat from step 5
Working with Scanned Images
VueScan is designed to save scanned images to JPEG files
(by default) or TIFF files (optionally).
You can configure your favorite image editing program to
automatically open each image when a scan completes. Use the
"Prefs|External viewer" option to control this.
On Mac OS X, you can set up the default viewer for .tif and .jpg files by:
- click once on a .tif or .jpg file
- choose "File|Show info"
- choose "Open with application"
- pick the application you want to use
- press the "Change All" button
On Windows, you can set up the program that automatically
starts with scanned images by setting up a file association
for .tif and .jpg files. To create a file association, click
on a .tif or .jpg file with the right mouse button,
select "Open with", then "Choose program". Pick the program
you want to use, and also select "Always use the
selected program to open this kind of file".
On Linux, use the "Prefs|Viewer" option to select the
application to use to view .tif and .jpg files.
Scanning Roll of Film
If you're scanning many frames from the same roll of film,
the following procedure will optimally set the CCD
exposure and film base color (i.e. mask color):
- Set "Input|Options" to "Advanced"
- Set "Input|Media type"
- Insert film with most transparent area
- If "Input|Lock exposure" visible
- Clear "Input|Lock exposure"
- Press "Preview" button
- Adjust cropping if necessary
- If "Input|Lock exposure" visible
- Set "Input|Lock exposure"
- Press "Preview" button
- If "Input|Lock film base color" visible
- Set "Input|Lock film base color"
Batch Scanning
To scan multiple images in a batch, set "Input|Batch scan"
to "All" to scan all frames in a device, or set it to "List"
and type in the list of frames (i.e. "4 3 1" for frames 4,
3 and 1, in that order).

- Adds 64-bit versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
This lets you use more scanners on 64-bit operating
systems (and lets you use Canon transparency adapters
on 64-bit Windows). Also lets you work easier with scans
larger than 3 GBytes.
- Generally faster and more responsive, faster starting up
- Easier to install and use - VueScan 9 is only _one_ file
on Windows and Linux, and a single icon on Mac OS X.
You can copy it to anywhere on a hard drive or USB memory
stick by copying this one file.
- User interface is easier to use, and more screen space is used
for scans and less space for options. You can also customize
the font size if you want to change this (Prefs | Font size).
- Automatically installs Photoshop plugin and TWAIN driver
- Universal binary on Mac OS X - x32 is Intel/PowerPC and
x64 is 64-bit Intel and 32-bit Intel
- Improved internationalization - better non-English support
VueScan supports more than 1850 different scanners on Windows,
1550 scanners on Mac OS X and 1100 scanners on Linux. These scanners
are organized by vendor name below.
If your scanner isn't on this list, VueScan may still work with your scanner
if you can find a WIA driver (Windows) or an Image Capture driver (Mac OS X)
on the scanner manufacturer's web site.
Please note that not all scanners work with all operating systems
or SCSI/USB/Firewire interfaces, but most combinations are known
to work. The best way to find out for sure if VueScan works with
your scanner, operating system and interface is to download the
trial version of VueScan from www.hamrick.com.
On Mac OS X, VueScan works with most USB to SCSI converters, including the
Adaptec USBXchange and USB2Xchange. VueScan also works with most
Firewire to SCSI converters. You don't need to install any vendor
software to get this to work. Only one SCSI device per converter is
supported, and you should use SCSI ID 0 with USB to SCSI converters.

| Supported Digital Camera Raw Files |
VueScan supports raw scan files for the
digital cameras in the following list. However, note that
the colors may will be more accurate if you use an IT8 camera
target (like the one produced by Wolf Faust) and if you
use VueScan's "Profile|Profile scanner" command to create
an ICC file for your camera.

If VueScan doesn't see your scanner on Mac OS X, first make
sure that Apple System Profiler can see the scanner. If it
doesn't, try powering off the computer, powering off the scanner,
powering on the scanner and then powering on the computer.
In addition, make sure Mac OS 9 / Classic is off.
If VueScan doesn't find your Canon or Epson scanner and if you're
using an Intel Mac, try clicking on the VueScan icon while holding
the control key, choosing "Get Info" and setting "Open using Rosetta".
Some older versions of the Canon MP-series software won't
work if it's the non-English version. In this case, install
the English version from the American download site at
www.canon.com.
You can share one copy of VueScan among multiple Mac OS X users
by putting the VueScan folder into a read-only folder somewhere
on the hard drive. This will cause the default folder for each
user to be that user's "Pictures" folder.
If you're using a Ratoc Firewire-SCSI adapter, you may need to
configure one of the options. Try setting the time between
the power on and the SCSI bus reset to 40.
If you're using the Ratoc USB->SCSI adapter, set up the
adapter with the Ratoc utility to "Mass Storage" mode.
If you're using a SCSI scanner on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger),
have an Adaptec 2906 or 2930CU SCSI controller and your SCSI
scanner isn't working properly, try the following commands
in the terminal window:
- cd /System/Library/Extensions
- sudo mv Adaptec290X-2930.kext Adaptec290X-2930.kext.sav
- reboot the computer
To restore this change:
- cd /System/Library/Extensions
- sudo mv Adaptec290X-2930.kext.sav Adaptec290X-2930.kext
- reboot the computer
If VueScan still doesn't see your scanner, go into "System Preferences",
"Accounts", then "Startup Items". Make sure nothing is being
started that might be accessing the scanner (i.e. "Epson Scanner Monitor").
If you have a SCSI scanner but don't have a SCSI adapter, try
using the
Ratoc Firewire->SCSI adapter.
If you've installed the Umax software for a Firewire scanner
on Mac OS X, you need to remove (or rename):
/System/Library/Extensions/UmaxFireWire.kext
(the name begins with Umax but might have a slightly different name)
If you're using a Canon LiDE 40 or LiDE 50 on Mac OS X, install the
Canon software for the LiDE 35. These scanners are identical
except for the outside plastic, and there's a universal binary
driver for the LiDE 35 on www.canon.com.
If you're using a Canon LiDE 80 on Mac OS X
and are having problems seeing the scanner or starting VueScan,
try re-installing the Canon scanner drivers. If you're using
Mac OS X 10.6, you'll also need to copy the folder from the
LIDE80_7275MXEN.dmg file in the "Into Users_Shared" folder
called CanoScanLIDE80 to the /Users/Shared folder on your hard drive.
If VueScan hangs with Firewire scanners, make sure OpenFirmware
has "security-mode" set to "none". Other settings cause problems.
Canon N-series and LIDE scanners are powered directly by the USB port.
The USB port must provide a power supply of 500 mA. If you plug
the scanner into the USB port on a keyboard or other USB device,
the scanner may not work properly. Attach the scanner directly
to a USB port on the computer or to a 500 mA self-powered USB hub.
If you find that an N-series or LIDE scanner doesn't work with one of
your USB ports, try plugging it into the other USB port.
If you're using a Microtech FireSCSI adapter, make sure that
you're using SCSI ID 0 and that the SCSI termination is correct.
If you're using an Orange Micro 906F SCSI card, make sure it's
upgraded to at least firmware version F1.35.
There's a bug in Microsoft's scsiscan.sys driver when using Firewire
or SCSI scanners on 64-bit versions of Windows. You can get a hotfix
for this problem from Microsoft at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922498
If you've set up a shortcut to vuescan.exe and are having
problems, try double-clicking c:\vuescan\vuescan.exe directly.
This will test whether the problem is with the way the shortcut
was set up or whether the problem is with VueScan.
To use PIE (Pacific Image Electronics) scanners
with VueScan, you need to first install
CyberView X
(not CyberView 32).
VueScan uses the CyberView X libraries to control the scanner.
To use the Epson Perfection 3170, 4180 or 4490 with VueScan, you need to
first install the Epson software for this scanner.
To use most newer HP or Canon scanners, you need to first install
the HP or Canon software. VueScan uses HP-supplied and Canon-supplied
libraries to talk to these scanners.
If you're using a Microtek scanner, you need to remove the
Microtek Scanner Finder from the startup folder in the Start button.
If you're not using one of the above scanners, and
if you're using Windows Vista, XP or x64 and you don't want
to install the software from the manufacturer, you can use the
driver in c:\vuescan (scanners.inf). This driver will work
with most scanners. To do this:
- Make sure you've answered 'Yes' about installing drivers
- Click on 'Computer' (or 'My Computer') with the right mouse
button nd choose 'Properties'
- Click on the 'Hardware' tab
- Click on 'Device Manager'
- Click on the scanner with the right mouse button
and choose 'Properties'
- Click on the 'Driver' tab
- Click on 'Uninstall'
- Reboot the computer
- If Windows asks for a driver for the scanner, tell
it to look in c:\vuescan
There have been reports of VueScan freezing while scanning
using Minolta scanners when the McAfee virus scanning software
is enabled. If you have this problem, try disabling the
McAfee software.
If your scanner has a button on the front and
if a program starts up when you press this button
while running VueScan, you have a program running
in the background that you need to stop. To stop
this program, press control-alt-delete, choose the
task manager and use it to stop this program. One
example of this is the Epson Status Monitor.
VueScan works on Windows NT/2K/XP/Vista, and works with
all known SCSI cards. It also works fine with
multiple computers on a single SCSI bus (i.e. dual
ported access to scanners).
If VueScan won't start and you have Logitech MouseWare
or a Logitech keyboard installed, try stopping
EM_EXEC.EXE and/or ITOUCH.EXE. There have been some
reports of these two programs causing problems with
VueScan. (These two Logitech programs cause problems
for many other Windows programs as well.) Alternatively,
try turning off the "Smart Move" option in MouseWare.
If you have the Adaptec DirectCD Wizard on the Toolbar,
you may have to remove it to get VueScan to run.
If you have an ELSA Synergy III graphics card (or possibly
other NVideo graphics cards) and VueScan hangs when
starting, you may need to disable the Desktop Manager
that comes with the card (the file that causes the problem is
nvdesk32.dll).
On Linux, run vuescan from any directory.
Your serial number will be stored in ".vuescanrc"
in your home directory.
If you're using a newer version of Ubuntu Linux, you can
install the needed version of libstdc++ with the command
"sudo apt-get install libstdc++5". If you're using 64-bit
Linux, you might also need to install "ia32-libs" and "ia32-libs-gtk".
If you're using a newer Linux distribution that's
LSB compliant, edit "/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules",
find the line that begins with "libusb device access"
and change 0644 to 0666. (It might be in "/lib/udev/rules.d")
If you're using a Firewire scanner, make sure you've
loaded the sbp2 module.
If you get errors from gtk when starting VueScan, make
sure the LANG environment variable is set to C.
If VueScan crashes on startup, make sure you aren't using
the idescsi module - this can cause problems.
Note that PIE (Pacific Image Electronics) scanners
do not work with VueScan on Linux because
CyberView X
isn't available on Linux.
VueScan uses the CyberView X libraries to control the scanner.
If you're using the Epson Perfection 3170 (GT-9400), make
sure you have /usr/lib/libesint32.so from the
Epson AVASYS SANE distribution.
You also need to set up the environment variable SANEI_EPKOWA_FIRMWAREFILE
to point to the firmware file esfw32.bin.
For newer versions of iscan, set up ISCAN_FW_DIR instead.
If you're using the Epson Perfection 4180 (GT-F600), make
sure you have /usr/lib/libesint43.so from the
Epson AVASYS SANE distribution.
You also need to set up the environment variable SANEI_EPKOWA_FIRMWAREFILE
to point to the firmware file esfw43.bin.
For newer versions of iscan, set up ISCAN_FW_DIR instead.
If you're using the Epson Perfection 4490 (GT-X750), make
sure you have /usr/lib/libesint54.so from the
Epson AVASYS SANE distribution.
You also need to set up the environment variable SANEI_EPKOWA_FIRMWAREFILE
to point to the firmware file esfw54.bin.
For newer versions of iscan, set up ISCAN_FW_DIR instead.
You need to make sure all of the /dev/sg* devices are
read/write accessible. To see what scanners are available,
type "cat /proc/scsi/scsi".
Note that the Adaptec AVA-1505 SCSI card doesn't
work with a Nikon film scanner, and will cause a
hard bus hang if you use VueScan with it. This
is due to a bug in the aha152x driver. Another bug
in this driver causes junk to be appended to the
end of a raw scan when using the PhotoSmart. Other
SCSI cards seem to work fine with VueScan on Linux.
There have also been problems reported with the
Adaptec AVA-2904E and the Canon FS2710, although
this combination works fine on Windows.
If you want to add or remove scsi devices without
rebooting your system, use the following commands:
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 ? 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 ? 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
(use the SCSI ID in place of "?" above)
If you're using libusb to access a USB scanner, you need
to make sure the protections in /proc/bus/usb are set up
properly. There's some information about
setting up libusb on Linux.
To use the scanner.o module on Linux, you need to load the
scanner driver and specify the vendor ID and product ID
of the scanner. For instance, to recognize the Canon N670U, use
"modprobe scanner vendor=0x04a9 product=0x220d". Then type
"cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" and make sure "Driver=usbscanner"
is enabled for your scanner.
If you're using Linux 2.4.12 or later, you don't need
to do anything special to have the scanner auto-recognized.
If you're using an earler version of Linux with a USB
scanner, set up the SCANNER0 environment variable to point
to /dev/usbscanner or /dev/usb/scanner (it needs to be
read/write accessible), set up the SCANVID0 environment
variable with the USB Vendor ID (VID) and set up the
SCANPID0 environment variable with the USB Product ID (PID).
You can support up to 8 USB scanners at a time by using
SCANNER1, SCANNER2, SCANVID1, SCANVID2, etc.
For instance, to set up VueScan for the Epson 640, use
the following commands if you're using csh:
setenv SCANNER0 /dev/usbscanner
setenv SCANVID0 04b8
setenv SCANPID0 010c
or if you're using sh or bash:
export SCANNER0="/dev/usbscanner"
export SCANVID0="04b8"
export SCANPID0="010c"
Note that you don't need to set up these environment variables
on newer Linux kernels or if you're using libusb.
If you're having problems with USB timeouts (i.e. with
the Nikon CoolScan IV (LS-40), make sure you use the
"usb-uhci" (CONFIG_USB_UHCI) module instead of the
alternate "uhci" (CONFIG_UHCI_ALT) module. You might also
increase the kernel usb timeout value (CONFIG_USB_LONG_TIMEOUT=y).
To remove VueScan, delete the entire folder containing VueScan.
There are no files installed elsewhere on the system.
