Driver Improvements:

•Enables Epson Scan to start when the Scan button is pushed.

•Enables Epson Scan to start even if the volume name (Hard Disk) on the desktop is only 2 bytes (2 characters) in length.

•Eliminates the error “Epson scan cannot be started”, which occurs when the USB cable is disconnected while Epson scan is loading.

•Corrects lock-up issues when using the Zoom tool in Epson Scan.

•Corrects functionality issues and mouse cursor lock-ups when using the Histogram Adjustment, Tone Correction and Image Adjustment tools or when clicking on each tool’s Title bar.

•Prevents Epson Scan from unexpectedly quitting when scanning two or more times from PhotoShop with a Perfection 1250 scanner.

•Prevents Epson Scan from locking up when scanning from a Perfection 3200 scanner with a Firewire connection.

•Prevents Epson Scan from unexpectedly quitting when removing the Firewire cable from a Perfection 3200 scanner while Epson Scan is open.

•Prevents the Epson Scan Utility from freezing when using the Perfection 1250 or 1260 scanner.

•Enables Epson Scan to launch properly when scanning from an Expression 1680/ or 1640XL with a Firewire connection.
