My fi4120c scanner doesn't work with windows 8 - help?!

Are you using it currentrly? What is your current Operating System? I've been searching and can't see anywhate a windows 8 driver for this scanner.
Bu let me tell you, I'm using currently a Genius ColorPage, originally released for windows 98. Installed windows 2000 driver in compatibility mode for findows XP. There is no driver for Windows XP nor for Windows 7 and coldn't make it work in Windows 7. So I run it on a computer with dual bootWindows XP / Windows 7.
When I need to scan, I simply start up as windows XP. When finished scanning, reboot to windows 7
I Have Windows 7 on a 2 Tb HD SATA and Windows XP on 200 Mb IDE. Is more economical to have a dual boot then buy a new Scanner.
If your scanner won't run on windows 8, install on another HD or a partiton, Windows 7. doual boot Windows 7 / 8 work like a dream.

You may never get it to work unless the scanner manufacturer releases a driver for windows 8. Go to the scanner's web site to see if one is available.

Hello.

I am a Support Engineer with Visioneer.

I see that your are inquiring if this scanner is supoprted on Windows 8. This scanner is actually not supported nor does it have drivers available for Windows 8. Is your scanner p/n 85-0101-100 (located on bottom of scanner)? If so, in theory it may work using the Windows 7 driver on our website, but ther is no guarantee.

I would suggest you look on our website for Windows 8 comaptible scanners. We also have an extensive support site and knowledgebase at http://support.visioneer.com

If you continue to experience trouble, please feel free to contact us by calling 925-251-6399..

Here is the response I received from the company for the question:

Where can I get drivers for windows 8? Windows 7 drivers are not working on Windows 8.

Response:

Hello, This scanner will not be supported on windows 8, all of our USB 1.0 technology scanner will no longer be supported beyond Windows 7.

this helped me with my scanmaker 3830 on windows 7 and windows 8 64bit too
You can download: ScanWizard 5 version 6.63 Here: ftp://microtek:[email protected]/microtek/pcfiles/drv_sw5_v6_63_ad.exe
Extract to folder on desktop. 1. Plug in your Scanner 2. Go to Control Panel (Windows 7,8 - 64 and 32 bit) 3. Go to Device Manager 4. Go to Imaging devices (or Other devices) 5. Find what windows have installed Right Click 6. Update Driver Software.. 7. Click - Browse my computer for driver software 8. Click - Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer 9. Click - Have Disk 10. Browse to your desktop or position where you extracted 6.63, point to "....drv_sw5_v6_63_ad\Disk1\Vista\AMD64\..." Pick any of INF files I picked first 11. You will see 4800 Scanner and USB 2.0 Scanner, I picked first 4800 then USB 2.0 and both works., install the scan wizard, restart the computer

Hello, I've looked around on the website and there doesn't seem to be a driver for this device to work on Windows 7. It doesn't support this operating system, sorry.
You can either downgrade to Windows XP or get a new barcode scanner.

Here's what I've done. Maybe it's too late to help.
1) install the latest driver
2) restart
3) go to device manager
4) right-click on unknown device and click update driver
5) Select Let Me choose and select an imaging device
6) Click have disk and browse to c:\windows\fjmini and select fi4120c.
7) let it install the unsigned driver
8) You may have to restart after installing
9) Try opening your scanning software and then select the WIA driver for your scanner
I've installed many fujitsu scanners on windows 7 systems
Works perfectly.

There are no official drivers for CanoScan Lide 30 for Windows XP, so your problem is obvious. I suggest you sending an e-mail at Canon including details about your scanner (date purchased, serial number in text form or scanned) asking them to develop driver set as this model is very trade and at shops since 2006 or 2007.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post.

Thanks and regards

Try to get to the separation rubber and clean it.
