    scanner worked fine. Now it looks for the twain driver and cannot find it. software has been installed, removed and re-installed. Still cannot find device.
    Using Windows Vista 32 bit. I've searched and tried as much (or little) as I know. Nothing works.

I ran into a similar problem with my LiDE 20 right after I upgraded my Adobe Reader from version 8.0 to version 9.0. Under the "Link scanned images to" section, the path was still pointing to the old version of Adobe Reader. To fix it, I clicked the "Set..." button and selected the appropriate path to the new version of Adobe Reader. You can also try clicking the "Link Deletion" button if you just want the file to be saved without displaying the image after scanning.

    On Vista: I encountered this very same problem but mine happened when upgrading from version 9.0 to 10.0. I made the mistake of uninstalling and reinstalling (downloaded from the Canon Site) both the Scan Gear Software and Drivers (a total of 4 files). Did not work. The solution was much simpler -- simply, as indicated -- to associate the program with the new version of Acrobat Reader. Also my scanner is LIDE 25 NOT 20.

Scan to Google Drive, An Internal error occurred. (255)

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with scanning and saving documents to your Google Drive folder. The error message you mentioned, "An Internal error occurred (255)," typically indicates a problem with the scanning software or the connection between your scanner and Google Drive.
Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. Check your internet connection: Ensure that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. A weak or intermittent connection can cause errors during the upload process. You can try restarting your modem/router or connecting to a different network to see if that resolves the problem.
2. Clear browser cache and cookies: If you're accessing Google Drive through a web browser, clear your browser's cache and cookies. Sometimes, outdated or corrupted cache files can cause issues with file uploads. After clearing the cache, restart your browser and try scanning and uploading the document again.
3. Update your scanner drivers: Visit the website of your scanner manufacturer and check if there are any updated drivers or software available for your scanner model. Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause scanning issues. Install any available updates and restart your computer before attempting to scan again.
4. Try an alternative scanning method: If you're using specific scanning software, try using a different scanning application or method to see if the issue persists. For example, you can use the built-in scanning functionality provided by your operating system or try a different scanning application altogether.
5. Contact scanner and Google Drive support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to the support teams of both your scanner manufacturer and Google Drive. They can provide you with specific troubleshooting steps and assistance tailored to your setup.
Remember to provide them with detailed information about the error message, steps you've already taken, and any specific error codes or messages you encounter during the scanning process. This will help them diagnose and resolve the issue more effectively.
I hope these suggestions help resolve the problem you're experiencing and that you're able to scan and save your documents successfully.

The scanner is not available while in use by another application or user i get this darn error. I use this scan multiple times a day and all of a sudden i see this.... why?

Hi,

The error message could be Twain Driver error or ScandAll pro Application error. Please go through the followings:

SCANDALL-PRO APPLICATION ERROR:

Error Code: [SA01020E] No scanner is found.
There is a possibility that no scanner is connected, the connected scanner is not turned on, or the scanner is currently used by some other application.

Status: [Scan] or [Select Scanner] is specified, but no connected scanner is found. Or, the scanner is currently used by some other application.

Action: Make sure that the scanner is connected and is turned on. If the scanner is currently used by some other application, use the scanner after the application ends. Make sure that the driver selected on the [Scan] tab of [Preferences] in the [Tool] menu is installed correctly.

TWAIN DRIVER ERROR:

-The scanner may be OFF or not connected. Check the power supply of the scanner or connection with PC.
-The scanner may be already in use by other application or the "Scanner and Camera" in [Control Panel].Close other application or "Scanner and Camera" in [Control Panel]

-The connected image scanner is not a model supported by this driver. No image scanner is connected. The cable is disconnected.Check whether the image scanner is connected.

-Another application may already be using the image scanner. Alternatively, the TWAIN driver may have been activated twice.Terminate all applications, and start scanning again.

For more information, please refer to the help contents of Scanner utility/Twain driver and scanning application installed on your PC.Hope the above information is helpful.

Thanks,
ScanCare

Hi, my terminal Motorola MC3190 doesn't want to enable scanner and i really don't know why.... There is an error code A0000032 with message: "CANNNOT ENABLE SCANNER"

The scanner engine/output can be used only by one application. If a second application is trying to access the scanner, while in use. The error message will come.
Please check if there are more applications running in background. Usual MC9090 applications with scanner drivers are Telnet, Datawedge, Rapid Deployment and custom software.

Exit one of the application or try to exit all of them. Start your scanning application again, no error should appear now.

the reason why the printer is giving you that error msg is because the all in one center is not communicating properly with the programs on your computer to your printer.

try to scan directly to your computer using the all in one center instead.

Epson Perfection v200 stopped working on my imac

Try to scan using epson scan to isolate the issue. You can launch epson scan from applications. If you can scan using epson scan, call adobe to troubleshoot further on photoshop.
If you get an error epson scan cannot be started or if it won't launch. It could be connection or driver issue.
To uninstall/re-install twain on mac, follow the instructions:

- Go to library then application support. Trash epson scanner module.
- Go to library then image capture. Trash twain data sources.
- Go to the hard drive. Click on user. Click on the name of your computer. Click on library. Click on preferences. Click on epson. Trash epson scan.
- Empty the trash.
- Restart your mac.
- Log on to support.epson.com. Type in v200 in the search box on the top right corner of the page then click search. click on the first search result. Click on the drop down box and select macintosh operating system instead of windows. click on the second driver down, epson12527.dmg then click on download now. Select no thanks, i prefer not to receive this information then click accept. Install the epson scan installer after the download.
- Then try to scan using epson scan.
If epson scan won't launch or you get an error, try a different usb cable.

Goodluck.

Have you checked the cord from the scanner lid to the scanner base. if that doesn't work I would try uninstalling the scanner and then reinstalling it. It sounds like a problem with the twain driver for the scanner.

Scanner command invalid in current state

I have not used CapturePerfect 3.0. Hope the scanner is just fine. Try count only mode to check if it is okay.

Uninstall Captureperfect. Run chkdsk/scandisk to check if OS is ok. Reinstall Captureperfect again and it should work.
