I have been trying to use Epson scan with my 4990. No matter what bit choice (48 or 24) or dpi (2400 down to 150), after the pre-scan, the software tells me I have insufficient ram to scan. Epson scan is the only software open. I have 2gb of ram.

I deleted the software and reinstalled. I also downloaded the latest driver from Epson and installed that. Same problem every time.

I can use Silverfast SE and scan at 2400 dpi, yielding 250mb files. I also have used the same machine with a 4870, scanning at 2400 and 48 bit (500mb files) and had no problems. Something is wrong with the Epson software or a setting in there.

Any ideas? Any input would be much appreciated.
