<EM>&gt; Ok. But is the firmware sent at every scan ? Every boot ?

<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I thought that the correct firmware was sent only once in a lifetime, and thus could be sent from windows.
</EM><BR>
<P><P>The firmware needs to be sent every time the scanner is reset.

<EM>&gt; &gt;Ah... the &quot;MiraScan&quot; package installs all of the possible drivers. But
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;only one is actually transferred to the scanner. YOu can leave the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;actualy firmware files on your DOS partition. Just mount it, and use the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&quot;acerfirm.pl&quot; script to send it to your scanner from there.

<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; Thanks for the info.

<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; About the firmware, since I have a small windos partition, cant I download the firmware there, to avoid some error cases?

<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;(1.04) with the most recent snapscan backend from sourceforge. Be sure
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;you upload the right firmware! The wrong firmware can damage your

<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;scanner. I determined that the correct firmware for the 640U is

<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;U96V121.BIN -- I watched the Windows 2000 driver load it using filemon
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;(from sysinternals).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;If it gives you any strange problems, turn if off and leave it unplugged
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;for five minutes or so, then plug it back in. The Acer support guy also
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;suggested plugging it directly into the wall, rather than into a UPS (as
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;I had it). Strange, but true. I can't verify that it had any effect.

<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; I have gotten a good price on an Acer 640UT, usb flatbed scanner. I have searched for info on wether it works with sane or not, but have not got any straigth answer.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Does anyone know for sure if it works well with sane or not ?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;

<EM>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Besides that, is it a good scanner?
