[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had some significant problems getting my computer to recognise the scanner - PC with Nikon L20. Strangely, the problem was resolved by swapping the port on the scanner the SCSI lead was connnected to. The nikontechusa page had a whole series of suggestions on this sort of problem - you might find it a bit of a guide. See http://www.nikontechusa.com/ Some suggestions will probably apply to your Polaroid scanner.
