Driver for Microtek XT 3300

[asterix45]

Hello,
I bought the scanner Microtek XT 3300.
My questions:
1. I dont understand why the installation of Microtek ScanWizard DI (TWAIN) worked at my laptop and failed at PC?
2. If the problem is the driver: Which driver do I need? Where can I get it.
3. Is ScanPotter Microtek for Windows or only for Mac. As far I learned in Internet, it is only related to Mac?
Thank you

Hello,

Your question is very Microtek specific. You might have luck that some user can help with his experience but it is not a general TWAIN issue.

You may try to contact Microtek direct for support.

Best regards,

Hello,

thank for the answer.

At least

Microtek ScanWizard DI (TWAIN)

seems to have a link to TWAIN.

What could it be? Can you exclude it is a driver.
