Canoscan scanner problem.

I have a Canoscan Lide 700r and for a long time there have not been any problems running it on my iMac running Yosemite. I scanned 100s of photos a couple of months back with no problems and on the same OS.

When I am scanning a load of photos, after the first scan it tells me that it's looking for the scanner. I disconnect/reconnect the usb cable and I can then scan the next time. It repeats it after each scn.

I have deleted the scanner and reinstalled it but no difference. It's running off of the Mac driver and as far as I can discern it is the newest driver. I read that this should be how it will run normally.

Has anyone any ideas as to why this is happening please? I still have a boat load of photos to scan!

Hi

I have a Canon Lide 220 and sometimes experienced the same problem as you (but not as often).

I stopped running the Canon software and instead scan via Image Capture. This seems to have resolved the issue for me.

Ta for the idea Nicky. I will see what it looks like with that. I have tried it vie the Scan1 option and that seems to be OK, but it doesn't do quite what I want.

I'll let you know how it works.
