Chris,

I see your problem. I had exactly the same problem on my XP box trying to
use a serial to USB converter. Most of them just don't seem to work very
well. I solved the problem by getting a $15 serial board. Now I have one
port dedicated to that board and Win92 works just fine.

Regards, Jim

The problem I was having is that I was trying to determine if my scanner
was
bad and whether or not to send it in for repair, since I could not get it
to
say "Receiving data" when the data was being transferred from the computer
to the Scanner ("Upload to Scanner" in Win92).

I had been using Windows XP Pro and finally tried and entirely different
computer (Win 98 Second Edition) and the same cables (the Purple cable
and
a USB/Serial Adapter from www.Pfranc.com)

It worked with the older cWindows 98 computer just fine. (The USB/serial
adabpter is not in the link) and Windows XP Pro is not being used.

So thanks, I got my problem solved.

The bottom line I guess is there is something that doesn't jive between a
Pro-92B, The purple cable, the USB serial interface and Windows XP Pro.

Chris

For those of you with a Pro-92 scanner, could you please tell me what
it
says on the LCD screen when you are uploading data from your computer
into
the scanner? Mine says "Sending Data". (Even when it should be
receiving
data.) Does yours by chance say "Receiving data"? THe local radio
shack
doesn't deal with them any more.

I'm trying to solve a problem I'm having with uploading.

Thanks
Chris

Chris,

You're technically downloading data from the computer to the scanner.
I'm
assuming you're using Win92. When I'm uploading from the scanner to the
PC,
the screen says "Sending Data". When I'm dowloading from the PC to the
computer, the screen first says "Receive Data" and then "Sending Data"
for
the data verification phase. What problems are you having exactly with
uploading (or downloading, as the case may be).
