I don't know who ACI is... never heard of the brand however, there 2 companys who made 320P scanners. One is Acer (now BenQ) and the other is Canon.

There are many threads posts on how to make Acer parallel port scanners work in Windows and as a general rule, Windows XP does not like parallel port scanners. Here's the procedure if you want to try it: (some have good luck, others are unable to make it work)

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.

Note: For additional screen shots of this procedure and installation procedures, please read the pdf file posted here: scpinwxp-eng.pdf (ftp://12.145.38.159/scanner/manuals/scpinwxp-eng.pdf)
The Screenshots show to be for Mirascan v3.423 but procedure is same for v3.424
