I ran it and have had no trouble since then, and I do not have to run Epson Scan as an administrator.

The Epson people sent me a patch last week. I do a batch scan, and it hanged after scanning 17 image. And, lo and behold!, that seems to work for me. In searching around the internet, though, I discovered some people had had some success in running Epson Scan *as an administrator* to stop the problem. It's all bad enough wasting hour after hour trying to get the thing to work the way an expensive scanner should. Well I tried the first two but I don't have another computer nor the inclination to do the hours of set-up to test it somewhere else. Plus a variation on an old medical joke ('Have you had this before? Well you have it again.') in the form of the question, 'Does this happen on any other computer?' They range from the obvious ('Destroy the current driver and replace it with a new one'), to the less obvious and more complicated ('Use our special Registry Cleaner first'). In the week or so since I posted the above, I've been in contact with the Epson people who have had a series of suggestions. No change from before - the Epson software scans one image and locks up.

I tried deleting my Epson driver, downloading & installing the current driver on the Epson website (epson15550, it is called) and restarting my computer. It's three months later (July 2018) and this same problem has just hit my Epson V700. I've found the driver, patches and update downloads online at Epson. This started happening at about the time that I upgraded to High Sierra a couple of months ago.ĭid you check for a driver update? You may need to uninstall the software and reinstall. This makes a tedious process even more so. In other words, it only scans one frame at a time, and I have to touch the track pad on my MacPro each time in order to scan the subsequent frame. My Epson V700 no longer scans continuously.
