This bulletin was created to inform you of an error that may occur when opening a TWAIN- compliant scanning application on a Macintosh computer running OS 10.4.

Description of Problem:

When launching a Twain-compliant scanning application after deleting your Epson Scan driver with an Epson Scan uninstaller not compatible with your scanner model, the application will force quit during start-up. For example, using a Perfection 4490 driver uninstaller to delete a Perfection 3490 driver will cause your scanning application to suddenly close during start-up.
