One regular client called me. He upgraded his computer at home. And he has an old one laser MFP Samsung SCX-4100. On the new computer, obviously 7. And before that there was XP. He and his son installed drivers for it, apparently from the included disk. But only the printer works. The scanner (via the native SmarThru program) does not scan. The SmarThru program itself freezes.

Well, I think I got the introductory information: the OS version and the MFP model. What else does? I’ll pump wood from offsite and go! On the offsite there is firewood for everything. And under 8 as well. Well, if you have it for 8, then 7 is not a problem at all :) The screenshot shows that there is support for all OSes on the offsite.

OK. He shook the wood. I put it on a flash drive. I came to the client. First of all, through “Add or Remove Programs” I removed everything that was previously installed. Rebooted. Then I installed the freshly downloaded print driver. The system found the printer. Then I installed the scanner driver. The system didn't find anything. And nothing appeared in Device Manager under Imaging Devices. Next, I installed the freshly downloaded “Easy Document Creator” (hereinafter EDC) - as I understand it, this is the successor to SmarThru. The program started, but the scanning buttons were inactive and pale. In the EDC settings I found “Search for scanners” - I ran it, but nothing was found :(

After that, I suffered for another 40 minutes. I was marking time. I tried installing the driver for the old device. Like this (screenshot from my home car, there is no SCX-4100):

But I couldn’t find the .inf file in the folder with the unpacked firewood. Downloaded different versions drivers, because I saw that there are different versions of the SCX-4100 - SCX-4100 simply, SCX-4100/SEE, SCX-4100/XEV. It didn't do anything. I was rummaging around on the internet. Found in USB devices - Composite device. I did a search for firewood on the Internet for him. And then it turned out that it was a webcam :)

Anyway. I won't languish. Finally I solved the problem! By installing SmarThru3_vista.exe. Moreover, I found this advice on the Samsa website in the “User Reviews” section. There are a lot of complaints there that the scanner in 7 does not work. And a bunch of answers from “Samsung specialists” sending people to the firewood that I tried first. And only one random post was with a link to this program. Without really hoping, I shook it. And I set it with the thought “I have nothing left to lose.” Installed. Launched. The interface is old and not very beautiful. But when I started it, she told me that she had found it samsung scanner SCX-4100 series. I tensed up a little :) And when I tried to scan and the scanner made noise, I was happy! Everything worked out! Scans, allows you to select quality in the settings and make a preview.

I haven’t tried how it will work in FineReader, a person only needed to scan and send by mail. Well, in any case, I think you can scan it into the image manager, and then from there, as jpg, put everything in FineReader.
