Designjet T1200 Scanner

Hello everyone,

Im having a problem with the scanner pc not finding and connecting to the scanner. Have checked connections, powered down both scanner and pc, disconnected fire wire, powered scanner and pc back up, and reconnected fire wire. Used both fore wire ports on scanner. Re-scanned dozens of times, and the scanner pc will still not see the scanner. Have even gone as far as using the system recovery disk, still no dice.

I see the manual recommends replacing the interface board and interface cable. although I have found no part number for the interface cable, unless the mean the fire wire cable. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hi,

Yes, you will be looking at a problem with the firewire cable or interface board. In a few cases the problem could be the Main PCA of the PPC.

Believe it or not, I ended up unplugging the scanner for about 5 minutes, plugged it back in and it connected right away.

Thanks for the input though, Mike. Much appreciated.
