Check if the light is on, while the scanned is busy by lifting the lid. If it is dark the lamp or the LED's don't burn and if so, I think you have to start saving for a new one.

The light in the scanner may be burned out so that the document is not being lit during the scanner process. If it is an old scanner I would suggest looking into buying a new one.

Too vague to answer, but I already replied to your previous Q which was slightly more detailed.

sir my os is win8 umax astra 5600 is not working plz solve my prob.,

This is a very typical problem. Microsoft seems to get monetary kick-backs for not supporting older hardware. It's called "Planned obsolescence".

According to the UMAX website this is supported for the mac but unfortunately only system 9 on a powerPC (see http://www.umax.com/support/knowledge/specifications.jsp?model=Astra+3400). You could try vuescan which is available at http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/umax_astra_3400.html you can download it for free to trial it but if you want to purchase it it will cost you about $40. Given that the scanner is fairly old I would suggest if you are going to spend $40 buying vuescan you would probably be best speding $60 to buy something that will give you a few more years of useful working life. Hope this helps.
