Hie i have a upa pc100 and a up dr100 and its very slow is there a way to get this to be fast when processing and is there a way to connect the scsi for the DR100 to a laptop or computer instead of using the upa pc100. please help

This scanner is Fast SCSI . It was made in 2001. You will need a card in your Mac for a SCSI interface. The cost of the card and scsi cable, if your Mac will accept one, will probably exceed the cost of a newer, high performance scanner. Time to move on? (Umax were not the greatest scanners even when they were made. Umax was a cheaper brand with mediocre software. So how will you get the image into the Mac once you have a connection? Power PC (OS 9) Mac software will not run on OS X.)

Is it connected through a SCSI cable and not cat5? My suggestion is install network analyzer and see if you are
Dropping packets. What Elise is on your network that may put out bad packets?

I have a sony up-dr 100 printer, im trying to conect it with a scsi usb cable in windows xp, windows does not recognized with the driver downloaded at http://www.sony.net/Products/DP-driver/digitalphoto_printer/UP-DR100/index.html

Hi,

Error code 8 means the SCSI fuse is blown off. This alarm is detected during initial processing immediately after power-on.

Probable causes:
- Defective SCSI cable
- Other SCSI device malfunction

Check if the SCSI cable or other SCSI devices connected to the scanner cause this error.The scanner can work even after this error occurs.

If the issue persists, you may have to contact Authorised Fujitsu Engineer to rectify the error.

Hope the above information is helpful.

Thank you for contacting Fixya.

Regards,

Most likely, it could be the amount of ram you have in your computer. If your running low on ram and it is using the virtual memory your computer can be running all the time causing a slow down in whatever you do. Check to see how much ram you have :)

there is a third piece you need to daisy chain the printers together. I do not remember the name off hand. I was wondering the same thing until I read one of the "full" manuals.  the piece can be found on ebay it has been going out lately for 200-300 dollars. thats why I stopped looking for the piece 2 years ago.

It may be an old Adaptec SLIM-SCSI series. Very popular on Late 90s

You can change the configuration accordingly, as indicated below

Hi you are connecting it to the wrong port you are probably using the printer port and you need a scsi port the printer is just shuting off so that it won't cause damage to yourself one you change the connection the printer, after having it unplugged for atleast 5 minute will start up and stay on just fine Good Luck
