OF7200i & Mavericks

Postby gbealnz » Sat Nov 22, 2014 1:58 am

I'm stuck. I have just obtained a new/used scanner, a Plusteck OpticFilm 7200i, and this comes bundled with V 6.5.
My desktop is a Mac, running OSX 10.9.5.
I have found that the V6.5 software has already been registered, but not by me, as you would expect.
How can I make this happen? I need the updated version of SilverFast to run with the Mac, but am now wondering if the 7200i is also not compatible with Mavericks either.

About 12 months ago I had a similar setup, sold it, and at that stage went through the update process, from Ver 6 to Ver 8. I used it (successfully) a few times, but passed it onto the next owner. I don't have the dmg file on my desktop now either.

Any help appreciated, I'd definitely like to get up and scanning with what I have, rather than buy into different software, or a different scanner.

Dear Gary,

The Plustek OF 7200i unfortunately is not supported at all under OS X.
Plustek does not provide OS X drivers for this device.
We also do offer SilverFast 8 for this scanner but can only provide it for Windows systems due to the lack of a driver.


If you purchased the scanner used it is likly the previous owner is still registered.
In such a case please contact our support, supplying the previous owners name/e-mail.
Or you can ask the previous owner to contact us to remove his registration.


Kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.

Thank you Arne.
In the end, the simplest option was to start again with a scanner, not the 7200i.
Thank you for all your help, here and in the background.
Gary
