My fission film strip scanner GFP-001 won't calibrate

SOURCE: Calibration cannot be performed Error

I had the same problem when upgrading to mac os x. I was trying to scan directly from Photoshop but got the calibration message. I tried the two solutions given at the Canon website but they didn't work. I ended up downloading the Toolbox application to scan directly from there but the same message appeared. After installing the Toolbox application I unistalled the driver (11250) and reinstalled it. I opened Photoshop and tried scanning and the calibration window appeared only this time it didn't stop to give me the "Flim Adapter" warning. I must point that the scanner lid was open when this happend but I'm not sure that had anything to do with it.

So apparently it works if you have the Toolbox installed prior to installing the driver. The driver, Toolbox application and unistall driver can be found at Canon's website. Hope this helps.

Ciao!

look for windows 7 or vista drivers, or right click on program and try to install and use in compatability mode

The Epson film holders hold the film 1 mm (.039") above the glass scanning window. You could cut and glue 1 mm plastic sheets to make your own holder if you can't get the originals from Epson. I'm making one now that will hold more than a single frame of 120 film, which is all the original Epson holder would take.

SOURCE: Fission film strip scanner GFP-001. Specs state compatible with Windows XP or Vista. Can I use it with Windows 10?

The device drivers that Windows 10 needs are significantly different than drivers for Vista or XP. If your scanner is old, the company likely will not support Windows 10. One thing you could try is to set up a virtual machine using the free Oracle VM Virtualbox or whatever virtual machine program you prefer. Then you could install the Vista or XP operating system on that virtual machine and run your scanner from there.
