# SUPPORTED OLD UMAX SCANNERS

> The sane-umax library implements a SANE backend that provides acces to several UMAX-SCSI-scanners. Parallel- and USB- scanners are not supported!
> Here is a list of the UMAX-scanners:

Old Vista scanner:
Name/ID | Versions | UTA | ADF | Lineart | Halftone | Grayscale | Color RGB | Bits/pixel | Optical resolution
Vista VT600 | ? (try UC630 V2.8) | -- |  | ? | ? | ? | ? | 1,8,24 | 300 x 600
Vista T630 | some | X# |  | ok | -- | ok | ok, 3pass | 1,8,24 | 300 x 600

> # There is no UTA available for the Vista T630, the UTA-V6 is limited supported, if you have problems with your Vista T630 scanner and you have a UTA-V6 connected, try without UTA!

> ## 10/30 bits/pixel are used internally, the output bit depth is 8/24 bits/pixel

UTA = Umax Transparancy Adapter, ADF = Automatic Document Feeder
(X = supported by scanner)

> The old UMAX scanners often make problems. That may have to do with the firmware version. The first firmware versions are not compatible with Windows95, so I think they will not work with this driver too. UMAX suggests to use the following firmware versions for Windows 95:

> Suggested firmware versions for old UMAX scanners
> Name | suggested firmware version (read on UMAX's german website) | last firmware version
> Vista VT600 | use the UC630 firmware (2.8) | ?
> Vista T630 | -- | 1.5
> UC630 ### | 2.8 | 2.8
> UC840 | 1.6 | 1.6
> UC1200S | 2.5 | 2.5
> UC1200SE | -- | 3.3
> UC1260 | 1.6 | 1.6

> ### The UC630 can not be upgraded if the last 4 digits of the serial number are less than 1000!
