Q: Epson 1200U scanner with Mavericks

I was going to upgrade to Mavericks and then found my Epson 1200U scanner won't work with it, so I didn't complete the install. Is there any software available to use that scanner with Mavericks?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    You can sue the Image Capture app in your Applications folder for scanning.


     

    Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.

     

    Launch Image Capture.

     

    Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.

     

    You'll see this pop up menu:   Connecting this (device) opens:

     

    You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Import To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.


     

    If you need help with the Image Capture software, click Help from the Image Capture menu bar.

    Alternatively, you can use Vuescan.

    I have the same scanner as you and VueScan works with this scanner fine on Mavericks.

    Thanks, I have never used image capture. When I tried out Image Capture my HP printer/scanner showed up in devices, but not the Epson 1200U. I tried a scan using the HP with Image Capture and it worked fine so I guess I might not need the Epson anymore. Well, ya learn something new every day. Thanks again.

    Thanks for the link. I will keep this in mind if I don't find the HP C4680 scans good enough, but my first try scanning with the HP looks good.

    Thanks, Image Capture allows me to use my HP printer/scanner, but if in the future I'm not happy with this I may download Vuescan.
