VueScan Quick Start

Scanning Images

1. Run VueScan
2. Insert image into scanner
3. Set "Input|Media type"
4. Press "Preview" button
5. Adjust crop box with mouse
6. Press "Scan" button

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

\item Run VueScan \item Set "Input|Scan task" to "Copy to printer" \item Set "Input|Media type" \item Set "Input|Media size" \item Insert image into scanner \item Press "Scan" button \item 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:

1. click once on a .tif or .jpg file
2. choose "File|Show info"
3. choose "Open with application"
4. pick the application you want to use
5. 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.

Note that VueScan's technique for saving scans to a file uses half as much memory as when using a TWAIN interface or a Photoshop Import Filter. Since VueScan is designed to work with very large, high-resolution images, it doesn't include a TWAIN interface or Photoshop Import Filter. (You need to turn on the "Prefs|Release memory" option to release all image memory prior to sending the scan to the image viewer.)

Note also that VueScan's technique for saving scans to a file allows you to edit an image while simultaneously scanning the next image. Since some scans can take between 5 and 10 minutes, this results in significantly higher productivity than when using a TWAIN interface or a Photoshop Import Filter.

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):

1. Set "Input|More options" to "All"
2. Set "Input|Media type"
3. Insert film with most transparent area
4. If "Input|Lock exposure" visible
   • Clear "Input|Lock exposure"
5. Press "Preview" button
6. Adjust cropping if necessary
7. If "Input|Lock exposure" visible
   • Set "Input|Lock exposure"
   • Press "Preview" button
8. 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).

For more information, refer to the VueScan User's Guide.

General Scanning Resources

There's an excellent web site with scanning tips maintained by Wayne Fulton. It contains a scanning tips for flatbed scanners and film scanners. There's also a summary of the available film scanners , a review of VueScan and an example of using VueScan's cleaning, intensity, and contrast options.

Mac OS X Release Notes

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.

If you've installed the Canon software for N-series or LIDE scanners, you need to use the "System Preferences" "Login Items", select the ButtonManager for your scanner and press the Remove button.

If you're using an Epson 2400/2450 on Mac OS X, use the Firewire cable if you have problems with long startup times with USB.

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 Mac OS X 10.0.4 or 10.1 with a SCSI scanner, you may need to download newer Mac OS X SCSI drivers Don't install this driver on Mac OS X 10.2 or later, since this can cause kernel crashes.

The driver for the beige G3 built-in SCSI has bugs on Mac OS X 10.1 which have been fixed in 10.2. The driver for the beige G3 built-in SCSI is included with Mac OS X.

If you don't have a SCSI interface on your Macintosh, many users have reported success using VueScan with the Belkin FireWire/SCSI Adapter on Mac OS 9.x, 10.1 and 10.2.

If you've installed the beta UMAX OS X scanner software, you'll need to remove the extensions it installed in order to use VueScan. These are stored in /System/Library/Extensions. To temporarily remove them, just rename the .kext file to .kext.save.

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.

If your scanner has a button on the front and if a program starts up when you press this button while running VueScan, you need to disable this behavior to get VueScan to work properly. To disable button polling on Epson scanners, use "Epson Scanner Monitor Setup" in the Apple menu (uncheck "Enable monitoring") or remove the "Epson Scanner Monitor" extension in Mac OS 9.

Mac OS 9 Release Notes

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 don't have a SCSI interface on your Macintosh, many users have reported success using VueScan with the Belkin FireWire/SCSI Adapter on Mac OS 9.x, 10.1 and 10.2.

If you're using a Firewire or USB scanner on Mac OS 9.x, you may need to remove the extensions installed by the scanner vendor's software into the system folder. For instance, to get the Nikon LS-4000 to work with Mac OS 9.x, remove all the extensions that begin with the word "Nikon" (make sure you reboot with a film holder inserted into the scanner).

To get the Minolta Scan Elite II to work on Mac OS 9.x, you'll need to remove the following extensions. The extensions for the Scan Multi II are similar.

• DS Elite Library
• MCM Library
• MCM Library DS
• MFSBaseLib2887
• MFSFWDriver
• MFSFWExpLoader
• MFSFWFamily
• MFSLib2887

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.

If your scanner has a button on the front and if a program starts up when you press this button while running VueScan, you need to disable this behavior to get VueScan to work properly. To disable button polling on Epson scanners, use "Epson Scanner Monitor Setup" in the Apple menu (uncheck "Enable monitoring") or remove the "Epson Scanner Monitor" extension in Mac OS 9.

Several users have reported problems with some versions of the Kaleidoscope extension on Mac OS 9. Removing this extension will solve the problem.

Windows Release Notes

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 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP, 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 you're using Windows 2000 or Windows XP and a SCSI scanner and if VueScan doesn't find your SCSI scanner, you may need to download and install ASPI (you don't need this for USB 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 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).

Linux Release Notes

If you're using Red Hat Linux 8.0 or later, you may need to set up the the environment variable LANG to C. For instance, to run VueScan with this set, type:

env LANG=C vuescan

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 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.

Some VID/PID pairs for scanners that VueScan supports are:

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).
