Additional Notes

Any one looking to make their UMAX scanner work on WindowsXP, better try this one. UMAX has posted this on their website as a purchase only option for v3.55. This is a two stage update, the XP patch is free from UMAX. I found this driver from a European source, which apparently was from UMAX's European site (apparently it was free in Europe for a while, and now they are charging for it). This is a 2 stage install, first run 3.55, then apply the patch. A reboot may be required. XP will install and recognize the scanner, however only the WIA software it loads will give you minor control over its features. This version will apply the correct TWAIN drivers and give you full functionality. It should work with other models of the same production type, so give it a shot! IT WORKS PERFECT

  • In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "All Apps" -> swipe or scroll right and choose "Control Panel" (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager

How to Install a driver from Device Manager

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
