> UTA = Umax Transparancy Adapter, ADF = Automatic Document Feeder (X = supported by scanner, incl = is included) The UC-series 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
> 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! Here you can find information about firmware versions of UMAX scanners. This page has been changed on 12th. february 2001
