What you have not told us clearly is if the scanner is turned on prior to
your booting up Win ME or if you turn it on after the boot up. If the
latter is the case, you will need to manually go to the Control Panel's
Device Manager and refresh the scan of the SCSI card with the Linotype-Hell
scanner turned on to get it recognized. You do this by fist selecting any
of the devices in the device manager and then click on the Refresh Button.
If this is not the problem or if it does not work for you, you can try
changing the SCSI device ID # for the scanner which can be changed via a
control on the scanner itself and/or try changing the location of the the
SCSI card in terms of the PCI slot that it occupies.
Of course all the suggestions above assume you have the SCSI chain
terminated correctly and that the total length of the chain in terms of the
distance of the wires is not beyond the recommended limit. SCSI chains all
have recommended limits as to the total length of cable that can be used in
the connection of external devices to the card and each other; if you go
beyond that length, recognition and functionality of the devices on the
chain can become problematic.

Subject: [filmscanners] Linotype Saphir on a PC
Hello Folks:
Is anybody out there game for a technical question?
I bought a Linotype-Hell Saphir 3 second hand for proofing and
large format scanning and when it works, it does a great job.
However, I just can't get it to stay installed.
When I boot my computer, Windows ME recognizes it as a plug
and play device, but requires me to install it each time.
It is the second device on a SCSI chain.
What can I do in this case?
