My Microtek ScanMaker V6USL just hangs during a scan.

I'm using XP SP3, though this problem occurred regularly under SP2 also. It was so bad using the scanner's SCSI port, I switched to its USB port some time ago. After a while, an error message finally pops up:
"Fail to read image! System error: 995, The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. BulkIn Bytes:7680, returned Bytes:0".
I'm tired of fiddling to try to get it to work, from simply rebooting to messing with power/data cables to reinstalling the software to scouring the 'net for the latest and greatest drivers. Should I just cough up the cash and switch to a new reliable vendor's product?

SOURCE: no image obtained on preview scanning or actual scanning

First thing to do is un install and reinstall the software. Then consider - what other software could be running the could conflict[A graphics program for example]is to try another software for scanning if available. The other thing to consider is the age of the scanner- if it is from the DOS era-95/8/ME- then it will like as not not run- there is a firmware problem. Scanners have a controller chip - DOS era devices are looking for DOS commands - and they are getting NTFS commands- various makers like Microtek tried driver fudges- but they did not work. It has to be a NTFS scanner for NTFS commands.

Unable to scan, Unable to get the scanner to even be found (but twice)

Do you have a spare USB cable. Sometimes if that goes bad, that happens.

Try another available UBS port as well.

Microtek Scanner installation issue

If running XP SP2, then try clicking Start > right click My Computer > properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager button > expand Imaging devices > right click on your Microtek ScanMaker > uninstall > Re boot > and let XP pick up the device and let the found hardware wizard configure it.

I have seen plenty of hardware that when following the devices manufacturer's instructions for install, such problems as you're having occur and XP SP2 usually will cure it, though you may still need the device manufacturer's CD (for the driver) in your optical drive.

This link: http://support.microtek.com/downloads/bymodelname.phtml?viewtype=2&srch_in=ScanMaker+5950&frmsearch.x=10&frmsearch.y=11&frmsearch=Search&frm_rqst=2&axn=1 will allow you to select between the 5950 and 5950 Pro then on the next page you will be able to download the latest XP driver for your Scanmaker among drivers for other Operating Systems also.

I hope this helps, and Good luck.
