Instructions for installing Win 2000 Drivers in Win XP **NOTE** I have not tested these driver with the 19200 scanner as I have the 9600, they use the same drivers in all other OS's so shoudl work fine. Firstly all the files included are simply extracted from the standard primax install file pismusbeng.exe You can run them from the setup file as by running the original file but no drivers are sucessfully installed in xp To get the drivers working you need to do the following: (I apologise for the very simple steps through this but I don't know how much experience everyone needing these drivers has) 1, Unzip the file (you should ahve done this to be reading this) 2, Go the CONTROL PANEL 3, Select the SYSTEM option 4, Select HARDWARE 5, Click the DEVICE MANAGER button 6, Double click the scanner (this should be listed under OTHER DEVICES and have an ! symbol by it) 7, Select the DRIVER tab 8, click the UPDATE DRIVER button 9, Select the ADVANCED wizard option which lets you choose a specfic location to look for the drivers and click NEXT 10, Select the yop option where you tell windows where to look and then use the BROWSE button to find your way to the directory you unzipped the files too and click next 11, The wizard should now bring up a list of two drivers to choose from. Both of these work fine so select which ever you like and click NEXT 12, Windows will prompt you that the driver is not digitally signed and ask if you wish to continue to which you say yes (this may pop up again) 13, Once the driver is installed you need to click FINISH and the driver should be installed okay. To check the driver has been installed go back to the Device Manager screen and the scanner should now be listed under Imaging Devices The scanner should work straight away but you might want to restart anyway. The standard TWAIN interface is pretty basic but functional enough but you may want to use it in conjunction with an editor like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop to make sure you can do everything you want to. I hope this is okay for everyone and that you get your scanners working without any problems. If you don't understand any of the steps or have a question please mail me at: alainowennorgate@hotmail.com and I will answer them anyway I can. I'm no expert but used my head to figure this out. For the record i would like to say that it is a very lousy thing Primax have done by saying they will no longer produce new drivers for these products. it shows they are a Mickey Mouse company and do not care for their customers. I would advise all of you not to purchase any hardware from them in the future. Good Luck Alain.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
