Hi Fernando,

this behaviour has been reported one week
ago, but is currently not fixed.
I'll try to check this on a computer at my buisness
where we have a multiprocessing machine.
I'll let you know more next week.

I have been given a Plustek Optic 4831P scanner.

I have downloaded a driver from the internet.

I have the connector from the printer port to the printer but I still require the connection from the host port to the PC.  Should this be a parrallel or a serial connector.

Do I need anything else in order to use the scanner.  Are there any books available to help a pretty raw beginner.

Many thanks in anticipation of your help. 

Hi,

you need the cable for the scanner. This connects the host port on the PC with
the scanner. Then you need the "normal" cable to connect the printer with the
scanner (although this might cause some trouble...).

The are no books available. You might have a look at the Plustek Germany
site at www.plustek.de - there's also an english copy of the site...

If the 4831P is like the 9630 the cable you need is not either normal cable.
It has one male and one female end. A normal serial has male db25 connectors
on each end, the printer cable has one db25 male and one edge card connector.
A serial cable that has all 25 pins wired ( some only wire 8 or 9 pins since
serial does not use them all ) with a gender changer to make the female end
would do the trick. Or you'll have to build one if you don't have the one that
came with the scanner.

This does in fact work with the 9630. And thanks for asking, I had the scanner
perched precariously on top on the case since the original cable was to
short to reach anywhere. And I had a 25 foot serial cable doing nothing.
