Glad to see I am not the only one trying to revive an eversmart jazz scanner. Me too I could use some help.
What I did up to now:
Bought a second hand eversmart jazz scanner, complete with all installation CD's, the calibration slide and the scanner parameters on a seperately floppy disc, all market as genuine scitex. The calibration slide and the floppy have the same serial number, but: the sticker with the serial number on the scanner itself is gone.
I allready had a 2nd wave scsi to firewire adapter including the driver, working flawlessly with the betterlight scanback on my ibook G4. I couldn't get the installation CD's of the scanner on this ibook G4 thus:
I bought an ibook (G3) and had someone install the original OS9.2, nothing else.
I loaded the drivers for the scsi to firewire adapter: the scanner is detected without any remarks from misses iBook
I loaded the installation CD's from the scanner: no problem detected
I did shut down the ibook, started the scanner and started the ibook again.
I followed the installation procedure from the manual from scitex. From the first time untill present I get the same message when instelling the scanner parameters: it starts with "loading from flash error: couldn't read Serial Number from flash"
I followed the instructions and entered the serial number on the calibration sheet, the same as on the floppy. When loading the parameters I get a message codes: M00409 I/O error!!, Cannot open file: "EverSmartScan.rsrc" Error number:-43
I tried to load the parameters from the diskette: the installation software didn't want to use it because it didn't match with the serialnumber from the scanner.
Conclusion: is the installation package belonging to another scanner or is the ibook not installed correctly or is the scsi to firewire connector the problem or (and this is probably the case): Inam too stupid for this?
Can anyone direct me to a solution?
