The TWAIN Forum

After installing the Twain Data Manager for Mac I still could not get the Canon Lide 60 Scanner to work properly consistently with Readiris Pro 12. It irratically crashes. The Canon Lide 60 only works well with Omnipage SE, with which it came bundled. However the Canon Lide 60, even though it works with Omnipage SE, does not work with Omnipage Pro, which puzzles me. I recently purchased a HP 8200 series scanner in an effort to find a scanner that works with Readiris Pro 12. To my surprise the HP scanner, even though HP employs Readiris OCR software, it did not work consistently with Readiris Pro 12. If any one has any suggestions as to how I can achieve using the Readiris Pro 12 with Mac 10.4 operating system I would welcome them. Thank you.

This conversation is just beyond me so i am out, best of luck.

Hi Jim,
First of all, Readiris 12 Pro does not exist: current version is Readiris Pro 11.5 !
Could you confirm that you are using Readiris 11 or 11.5 ?
Major difference between 11.5 and 11 is that 11.5 is UniversalBinary, while 11 is only PowerPc native.
If you are using 11.5 on Intel platform, (so running on Intel native mode), then you Twain drivers must also be UniversalBinary.
If it is not the case (as far as I know, HP and Canon currently develop UniversalBinary drivers, but they are not yet public available), then you have to activate the flag "Rosetta emulation" for Readiris 11.5 in order to tell the OSX to run Readiris in PowerPC mode, so that Readiris will "see" the Twain DS PowerPC.
