Hi--

Just tried to install my Acer 620PT on new laptop with Windows XP Pro--the disks that came with it would not install (Mirascan, copy machine, OCR, etc.). Does anyone have the proper drivers/files that will work with XP? I cannot find this scanner on Acer's website and was hoping someone might have this worked-out.

Thanks in advance.

Instructions for installing Acer brand parallel port scanners in Windows XP:

For this driver to work in XP you must install the MiraScan software then install the scanner manually.

Step 1. Download MiraScan v3.424 from the web : Mirascan_v3424p.exe (ftp://12.145.38.159/scanner/drivers/parallel/mirascanv3424p.zip)

Step 2. Unzip and install the Mira Scan driver that you just downloaded. After installation , system will suggest you to add a scanner

Step 3. Then, add an imaging device

Step 4. Then the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard comes up. Click Next at the bottom.

Step 5. Then on Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard screen it will ask you which scanner or camera do you want to install? You want to go where it says Manufacturer and then click on EPPSCANNER and where it says Model it should say color flatbedscanner. Make sure it is highlighted, also. Click on Next at the bottom.
