Hi

I wonder if anyone has had the following problem with the Plustek opticpro
600p, which occurs 8 out of 10 scans,  the problem is this, when I instruct
the scanner to prescan or scan
it does its pass then gets stuck at the end of the pass and even though the
belt is still going round the scanning bar just sits there clicking and
refuses to return to its idle position, not only that but this also locks up
my computer as I am unable to escape the process.

The only way I can get out of this is to reset my computer which is a pain,
now when I go to scan again after this problem the scan bar returns to its
idle position, therefore I am wondering if the scanner drivers supplied with
the 600p are at fault rather then the actual scanner.

.The reason I say this is because I am on my second scanner, I returned the
first with the same fault thinking the scanner was faulty, but with this
second scanner having the same problem, I am just wondering that it may be
driver problems.

The only other thing I can think of is that I have a zip drive and epson
stylus 400 sharing the same epp.



Thanks

Tony
