plustek: Thread: Genius ColorPage-Vivid Pro II

Hello,

	I have a Genius ColorPage-Vivid Pro II paralell port scanner (EICI 119600 
ASIC) that according to the plustek-module README file is supported, 
which I'd like to use under my Linux system (Slackware 8.0 + kernel 
2.4.18), but I'm having problems loading pt_drv (plustek-module-0_42_9 + 
sane-1.0.8)...

	The BIOS parallel port is set to EPP mode, port 0x378. The parport module 
is compiled without IEEE 1284 transfer mode.
The dmesg command reports the following after trying to modprobe pt_drv:

*********************************************

---------------------------------------------

	I followed the installation procedures correctly and there are no 
hardware problems since the printer is working fine under Linux and the 
scanner works perfectly under Windows. Is there a solution to that 
problem? I have read part of the mailing list, found some similar 
problems, but no solution...

	Thanks in advance, best regards...

never heard of this ASIC, the supported ASICs are
96001
96003
98001
98003

So it doesn't make me wonder, that it won't work! I'm not sure which
SANE driver supports this ASIC...

Hi,

	Well, in fact EICI 119600 is what is printed on the scanner's main chip, 
I don't know if that's the real ASIC model or just a manufacturer code. 
I tried the Primax Linux driver for the Primax Direct
9600, and the scanner showed some life, lamp on and motor working 
(badly) but no scans, only black images. I'd like to know if I really 
can use the plustek driver with this model (since the README file says 
so), or should I stick to the  primax one? Does Genius use different 
ASICs with the same scanner model names?

So if the Primax driver shows up any functionality, proceed with this
driver. It seems, that Genius uses different hardware in the same model.
Bad practice, but Plustek also does this in their USB models U12 and UT12...

Sorry but that's all I can do for you

Hi,

I have a TCE S540 paralell port scanner and I have used it in Windows
XP with Genius ColorPage Vivid Pro II driver with parcial success
(scan but it needs as a successive heating with three scanss without
success). You to observes his ASIC is EICI 093900, it is not an EICI
119600. I want the EiCI 093900 datasheet or other document what
describes the scanner funcionality. I want to continue the
primax.sourceforge.net source code.

Some say to have had success with TCE S540 to using Visonner 2400u's
driver in Windows XP. Others they say that the ASIC is the same of the
Primax Colorado 1200p scanner. I have attemped to contact drivers
programmers and components manufactures for documetação search.

I tried the Primax Linux driver for the Primax Direct 9600, but the
scanner don't showed any life, lamp on and motor don't working.

I tried the pxscansane_0.41 (sane backend  for Primax Direct 600), and
the scanner showed some life, lamp on and motor working (badly).

Idea?

Hi,

I'm pretty sure that I could be of no help for you, as I already
mentioned that the plustek code only deals with ASICs like the
96001, 96003, 98001 and the 98003

Sorry,
Gerhard
