One Touch 8100 flatbed scanner will not work on Windows Vista

Hello.

I am a Support Engineer with Xerox Scanners.

The Xerox 4800 do not have a supported Windows 7 driver. The scanner only supports Vista, XP, 2000, ME, and 98. I recommend trading the Xerox 4800 for a supported windows 7 scanner.

Please feel free to contact us by calling 800-648-0410.

Regards,

Xerox Scanners Support

Help is here,
You have compatibility problems with visioneer and Vista, I helped a few people last week with the same problem.
I recommended them too www.cnet.com for the latest paperport download and got my Fixya button pressed.

After downloading the visioneer 9420 driver file (found on the visioneer site, but before installing it, remove your old 8100 driver, then install the 9420 driver by running the .exe file you downloaded from visioneer. Then, use Device Manager, go to -update device drivers and in the listing you should see the 8100 listed. Double click on it, click on -update, go to -browse my computer for driver software, then go to -let me pick from a list, then you should see the 8100 scanner appear, click on it, click on next, and then it will install the 9420 driver. My 8100 is working great on a vista system. Don't get rid of that scanner! It works!

You can downlaod them here - click on Windows Vista and youre done!

Right click scanner program--properties--compatability tab-- check run this program in Xp mode

Verified to work with Vista Home Premium x64 (should work for x32 as well):


1. Make sure your 8100 is unplugged.


2. Go to Visioneer's website and download drivers for the OneTouch 9420 scanner:

http://support.visioneer.com/products/home/9420/downloads_1.asp


3. Install the drivers. Nothing will work... yet, don't worry.


4. Now plug in your 8100. You'll get a message saying that Vista wants to find drivers. Select "Ask Me Later" or just cancel.


5. Next, open up Control Panel and then Device Manager. Find your 8100 in there (probably listed as "Unknown Device") and then right click on it and say "Update Driver Software". Now click "Browse My Computer For Driver Software" then "Let Me Pick From A List Of Device Drivers On My Computer".

6. Scroll down to "IMAGING DEVICES" then find Visioneer, then you should see the "Visioneer 9420" driver. Select it. You'll get a warning from Vista, but continue anyways. That's it... everything should work.

Unfortunately this scanner is at end of life and I do not think you will find any drivers for Vista.

Scanner doesn't work in Windows Vista.

"download"?? You don't download, you install. Have you considered that the scanner might not be compatible with Vista? Here's the Visioneer site: http://support.visioneer.com/products/home/EOL/8100/downloads.asp
