Overview

This page hosts the Plustek backend. Historically the backend has been used to control parallel-port devices from Plustek. Later it has been redesigned to support their USB devices. The current code supports a great variety of scanner, all based on the National Semiconductor chipset LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833 (aka Merlin). And in the meantime, although this backend is called Plustek backend it will not controll other Plustek USB devices than the listed below.

This is not about Microsoft Windows. I can't help you with this operating system. Don't ask questions about Windows drivers. No, I don't have drivers for XP.

The status in the table refers to the latest backend version available on this page. For a list of scanners supported in the current official SANE release, see the SANE backend list.

EPSON 1260 specific section

There is support for this scanner at least since SANE-1.0.8 but please use SANE-1.0.10 or higher, as the other versions will damage your scanner. The motor settings turned out to be wrong. This problem has been fixed in SANE-1.0.10 and higher or with backend code 0.45-5 or higher.

If it is already too late and your EPSON won't work anymore and there's no way to return it back to the store where you have bought it, you might wan't to repair it on your own. The mail from Thorsten Schnebeck describes what to do.

On Tobias Nährings' electronics page you can find a description for a special power-supply with over-current protection for the EPSON 1260 and a lot of information why the fuse gets blown...

AGAIN: !!! DO NEVER USE SANE-Versions BELOW 1.0.10 FOR THE EPSON 1260 !!!
