I recently bought and downloaded the vs 6 of silverfast. I bought an epson scanner (expression 1680 pro with a firewire card) a while ago and it worked fine in OS 9 with the software included with the scanner (presto page manager and SF Ai), now after i upgraded my computer to os 10.2.3 i decided to download SF 6 since elsewhere on this site there is mentioned that no additional software from epson is required. i found drivers for my scanner at their site, but only for version 10.2.2, but this should not be a problem: see previous sentence.

I installed the vs 6 on my Mac, installed the standalone software and tried to launch it => there is a pop up screen that says: no scanners detected. What is the problem now... and how can i solve it??? (my scannner is connected via firewire)

thx

Dear thx -
Just I tested the Epson 1680 - firewire - on Mac 10.2.5 with SilverFast 6.0.2r15. I used both - the standalone and Photoshop 7 and had no problems The scanner was found and SilverFast worked well. Perhaps you have a problem with your firewire card or the firewire driver on OS X ??
The scanner has a SCSI and USB port too. You can also use these connections.

with regards
