This bulletin was created to inform you of a potential scanner communication issue that can

occur in Mac OS X version 10.3.X with Classic mode running.

Description of issue:

A customer has an Epson Perfection 1670 or 3170 connected to a computer running Mac OS X

version 10.3.x. The customer also has an older scanning application that only runs in Classic.

When Classic is running and the customer tries to use the scanner, a communication error

occurs and the following dialog box appears:

Solution:

Per Epson Scan driver specification, the scanner should not be used when Classic is running.

The only workaround is to stop or turn off Classic before scanning. The table below shows a
