Agfa Snapscan 1212u Drivers For Mac
I have an old Agfa snapscan 1212u flatbed scanner. I can still run it in Classic on my G4.I'd like to be able to run it in Tiger.I found this link from the Agfa home page, where they say they no longer support their scanner line.Can someone please take a look at this link for me and let me know it it looks like this driver is an OK thing (aka safe thing) to download?Once I download the driver, are their any tricks to instaling a driver that I need to learn?I assume this is a no go for my Intel MBP?Thanks,Mrs H. Mrs H,Don't throw away that old Snapscan 1212. I have the old blue translucent model that came out about the time as the original bondi blue iMacs (have one of those too) and it works great with my current iMac G4 running Tiger.
VueScan is compatible with the Agfa SnapScan e20 on Windows x86, Windows x64, Windows RT, Windows 10 ARM, Mac OS X and Linux. If you're using Windows and you've installed a Agfa driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.
I've always run the Scanwise software and have it runs for me now in Tiger, not in Classic. I'll check and see what version I have and let you know.Looks like I have Scanwise X version 2.1fc2.
Is that what is currently available for download?P.S. The OS X version from the following link is the same version that I have and should work fine for you in Tiger.You can easily get the free version of Stuffit if you end up needing it to open the download.Regards,Steve M.Message was edited by: Steve M.Message was edited by: Steve M.Message was edited by: Steve M. It looks old.I got the scanner in 2001. It still should work in Classic?
(or at the very least on its old driver on the G4 if I use my OS 9 HD as my startup disk?).what is the date on it?By 'it' do you mean my scanner or the download?I got the scanner in 2001.The download - I did download it but not install it - isn't dated as I look at the info in the download window. The other download (for Scanwise) on the same 1212u page but specifially for Classic is dated 10/2/01 This is newer than the version of Scanwise I have on my OS 9 (9/20/99) which worked fine before I upgraded to OS X and I haven't used it since.The home page has this note: 'Agfa discontinued its DTP scanner product line (SnapScan, DuoScan, Horizon and Arcus range) and digital cameras (ephoto, ActionCam, StudioCam) at the end of 2001. However, driver & software downloads as well as manuals remain available on this page.' The FAQ refers to OS 10.3 but makes no mention of 10.4 in any info for any of the products.Would there be any harm in plugging in the scanner with NO driver for Tiger and seeing what happens?Could I have screwed up Tiger by installing the old driver, which I have downloaded buy NOT installed?I'm looking for a free/inexpensive way to do this.
At $40 for Vue Scan I might just be better off getting a new scanner when I next must scan in Tiger. I haven't priced them obviously and I may be way off base here.I'd love to hear your thought on the additional info I've provided.Mrs H. Yes, should work as always booted into OS9.That's what I figured.isn't dated as I look at the info in the download window.Do a Get Info on the downloaded file & report the Date Created, if it's not 2004 or more, I doubt it'll work in Tiger.Ge info shows the same info as in the window in finder, just that it's a Stuffit.dmg.sit.

It is the white model and has served me well in the past but for the last year it has been sitting unused on a shelf.Mrs H.

It is mostly recommended for home use and maybe small business. The first thing you notice when you open the box is the dual Macintosh and Windows 98 support. Nothing mentionned about earlier versions of Windows.
This is interesting if you own a PC besides your Mac and need to scan images to use on a PC. Agfa claims that its color capture is 36-bit and reaches over 68 billion colors. Its plate takes up to 600 (horizontal) x 1200 (vertical) in resolution and scans up to 9600 DPI. It ships with ScanWise, the Color It! Image editor, and OmniPage LE. The latter is for text recognition.InstallationThis scanner is easy to install. First, you plug the USB cable from the scanner to the USB port of the hub.
Second, plug the AC adapter to power. Then, insert the ScanWise CD-ROM and install the drivers and the scanning software. Once you are done, a library folder lands in your Extensions folder along with an extension.
A quick restart and you can use your new scanner.The LooksWell, this scanner is a nice companion to a bondi blue iMac or a Blue and White G3. Its exterior features translucent Bondi Blue plastics, and when you take a look at it (see the photo above), you can enjoy the fact that the beige days are over with. Hint: shut the lights and scan a few photos. While doing so, take a look at your scanner. It is lovely.
Technology that glows in the dark reminds you that the futurist days you imagined are now the present.Scanning Software And Using The ScannerAn interesting feature is that when you start up your computer, the scanner takes the signal from your USB port and warms up. If you do not intend to scan anything in this computer session, you just have to press the sleep button and the scanner will only wake up if you launch ScanWise.The SnapScan 1212u features ScanWise as its scanning application. When you look at the whole box and package, you sense that the Agfa folks show enthusiasm about this software. Are they right? ScanWise works very well and mostly, it is easy to figure out. A major flaw is the interface (see screen shot below).
It tastes like Windows because it bypasses the Mac OS Appearance Manager and draws most of its elements - except for pop-up menus and some buttons - all by itself. This is too bad, because the overall port from Windows does not cause problems. It comes in 6 different languages.ScanWise divides your scanning job into four parts.
The first one (after you did the preview) is to choose the Original Type, which is the material you take your picture from. It can handle different types of photos (matte or glossy), newsprint, magazine print, text (!) if you install OmniPage LE, artwork, inkjet print, and other types of print. ScanWise will reproduce the colors accurately when you select a type.The ScanWise Interface(Click for a larger image)The second step is to choose your destination, which means where your image will go. It can be a file, a Photoshop window, AppleWorks, Word, SimpleText, your fax, printer, clipboard, an e-mail message or a Web image. There is a large and handy list of options. I had the opportunity to scan a confidential (and urgent) report for work and send it as a fax through my modem. I was quite skeptical about the quality, based on my previous experience from 'scanner to fax', but in this case, it worked very well.
Selecting GlobalFax in the Chooser was the first thing to do. Then I scanned, it sent me right to my fax software, and all I had to do was to hit send once I had chosen a recipient. The link between ScanWise and fax software occured without effort. For each Destination, you can select default properties by double-clicking on each and making your choices. For Photoshop, you can specify the resolution, what folder to save the file in, what image format and if you want a color profile in your image. Handy!The third step is 'Image Control'. This lets you choose if your image is line art, color or grayscale.
Then you can adjust your brightness, contrast and saturation.The final step before scanning is the Dimensions. You select your scale (from 10% to 800%), your size in different units like inches, pixels, centimeters or millimeters. Then, you can modify the resolution, up to 9600 DPI. Below all of this, there is a 'Scanned Image File' feature that tells you how much disk space your image will take. After this, hit scan and let the SnapScan do the job. Interesting note: the scanner is nearly silent. This is very nice in a work environment.ScanWise offers you a Guide Me button that helps you to scan your images if you are just starting to learn about scanners.
Handy for the beginners, and a good reminder if you want to make sure to remember everything.DocumentationThis is the weakest part of the product. The booklet provides the installation instructions and the other documents give you phone numbers and upgrade information, but this is all you get. I would have expected a solid introduction to scanning for beginners, but there was nothing. Not even on the ScanWise CD.
The Guide Me feature is your only way to learn how to scan. You cannot sit at a table and take the time to read about it.
Nothing tells you what the DPI resolutions mean, so a beginner will have no idea of what to choose and how it will affect the image's quality.ConclusionAround the $120-130 price range, the Agfa SnapScan 1212u gives you a lot of bang for your buck and is the perfect digital imaging companion of its class for any computer equipped with USB ports.
