primax: Thread: Colorado 600P/1200P: anybody has it working?

Hello,

I have a Primax Colorado 600P (parallel port) which I cannot get working
with the 0.93 beta version.

The message I get is

:-(
Scanner did not switch to EPP mode.....not compatible?

I searched the archives and found 2 posts, one claiming it does not
work, one claimimg it does, but with no specific info. Could someone
help and shed any light on my chances? (I am willing to do some
debugging if it helped)

Thanks, Milan

Well, the 36Bit D600 isn't supported by our driver, sonce it uses a different
ASIC (check with the partnumbers on our project's homepage)
The ASIC and ADC of D600, 1200p and D9600 are the same, so your scanner should
be recognized by the driver Gustav Kroling is working on... but maybe it isn't 
supported by this driver, yet.

Try it out and report it to the list, please. Thanks.

Hi,

I also use the D600 model. I've tried it with the 0.93 Version of the
driver and with the pxscan-0.2 driver but no success.

With the pxscan-0.2 driver it says that the scanner did not switch to epp
port and that is maybe not supported.

Maybe anybody has an idea of changing the code that the D600 does his work
on linux. I hate scanning under, NO I DON'T WRITE THIS WORD !!!

Please help us with the D600

Hi Michael,

to really find out which D600 you have, you should open the scaner's case
and look up the ICs built in (ATTENTION: I am not responsible for any damages
on your scanner! Only open the case if you feel you could cope with a
skrewdriver!!)

Then you'd look up the parts found on our project's homepage to find out which
D600 you have.

cu.

Christian,

I have the Primax Colorado  600P (not sure about the differnce between
my P and your D) and just got it working very nicely (on Gustaf
Kroling's suggestion) with pxscan-0.2. 

I am not sure about my part numbers though. I had the "cannot switch to
EPP" message when I used the 0.93 version, but with pxscan-0.2 it worked
as soon as I specified my port=278. Not sure if this really helps, but
there is someone who has it working now.
