Subject: Scanning Application Force Quits on Mac OS 10.4
This bulletin was created to inform you of an error that may occur when opening a TWAINcompliant scanning application on a Macintosh computer running OS 10.4.
Description of Problem:

with an Epson Scan uninstaller not compatible with your scanner model, the application will
force quit during start-up. For example, using a Perfection 4490 driver uninstaller to delete a

Correct Procedure for Deleting Epson Scan Driver:
! Use the driver specifically written for your scanner model to uninstall the Epson Scan
driver.
! If you have more than one Epson scanner model on your computer, use the driver
specifically written for each scanner to uninstall its respective device driver.
! If upgrading from a Power PC-based Epson Scan driver to a Universal Binary driver,
first delete the Power PC driver using only the Power PC driver for your scanner model.
Then install the Universal Binary driver.
If the above procedure does not resolve the problem, then manually verify that the Epson
Scan files and folders, listed below, have been deleted.
! EPSON Scan (in Applications Folder)
! EPSON*********.ds (****** = scanner model)---located in the Library / Image Capture /
TWAIN Data Sources folder

Product(s): Perfection 3200 Series Scanner
Subject: LaserSoft Imaging™ SilverFast® Driver issues with Windows 2000 and XP
This bulletin was created to inform you of an issue that can occur under Windows 2000 and XP
with the LaserSoft Imaging™ SilverFast® scanner driver bundled with the Perfection 3200 Series
scanners. The issue occurs on both the SilverFast Ai 6 and SE 6 plug-in drivers.
Description of Issue:
When the SilverFast scanning application (SF App v1.1.2) is first launched you see the following
screen. You must click on the Drop-Down button (see red box) in order to be able to choose a
PlugIn folder.
Product Support Bulletin
If you have installed Photoshop Elements 2.0 using the default location, the correct PlugIn folder
that the SilverFast application should point to is: “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements
2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export”. If you do not use the default folder, then navigate to the folder you
selected or created for Photoshop Elements 2 and choose the “Plug-Ins\Import-Export” folder.
Once the correct PlugIn folder location is selected, the SilverFast Launcher window should
display “SilverFast (Epson)” in the PlugIn window as shown in the example below.
Next, if you click on the “Import” button in Windows XP, you will see the following error message:

PSB.2004.04.002

Or
in Windows 2000 the error message looks like this:
This occurs because the “Plugin.dll” file does not get copied to the Windows “System32” folder.
Solutions and Workaround:
There are 2 solutions to fix this error. Follow the steps below.
#1) Manually copy the Photoshop Elements “Plugin.dll” file to the Windows “System32” folder.
1. If you have installed Photoshop Elements 2.0 in the default location, the Elements
“Plugin.dll” file can be found in: “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2.” Open
“My Computer” and navigate to this folder. If you did not use the default folder, then
navigate to the folder you selected or created for Photoshop Elements 2.
2. Copy the file and then navigate to your Windows “System32” folder. The Windows
“System32” folder can be found in the Windows Operating System folder. Typically it will
be “C:\Windows\System32” or “C:\WinNT\System32.” Then paste a copy of the Plugin.dll
file into the “System32” folder. This will prevent the Plugin.dll error from occurring.
#2) The second way to resolve this error is to upgrade the version of SilverFast. Follow the
download and installation steps outlined below.
Important:
to get the Download password sent to you. Uninstall the original version of Silverfast
You must have a valid email account and register with LaserSoft Imaging in order
prior
downloading and installing the upgraded version.
1. Open you browser and point to LaserSoft’s SilverFast Web site at: www.silverfast.com.
2. On the SilverFast web site navigate to the “Download >SilverFast Update” page.
3. Select “Version 6” then select “SilverFast Ai 6” for the Perfection 3200 PRO, or select
“SilverFast SE 6” for the Perfection 3200 Photo.
4. Next, select the make and model “Epson, Perfection 3200 Photo” (
Note:
The “Photo”
model is the only model listed, even for SilverFast Ai 6 or the Perfection 3200 PRO).
5. Then select your language, Operating System and Installation Type (Photoshop Plug-In).
6. You will then be asked for your SilverFast serial number. This can be found on the sleeve
of the SilverFast CD that came with your scanner. Select your download. When prompted
for the username and password enter the information provided to you in the email from
LaserSoft Imaging.
7. Download and install the updated version of SilverFast.
Note:
The bundled version of SilverFast Ai 6 or SE 6 is (6.0.1r31.) After the upgrade it should be
(6.2.0r7 or higher.)
