Found New Hardware Wizard Identifies a Kodak DS 4500 Color Scanner as a Kodak DS 4000 Scanner (283395)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional
  • Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition
This article was previously published under Q283395

SYMPTOMS

After you connect a Kodak DS 4500 Color Scanner to a computer that runs Windows XP and then restart the computer, the Found New Hardware Wizard detects the scanner but may incorrectly identify it as a "KODAK DS Scanner 4000 SCSI scanner device."

The wizard also reports that it cannot find a driver for the scanner, and the wizard may list the scanner under other devices in Device Manager.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if Windows XP cannot find the .inf file that contains the correct name for the scanner and therefore uses the name from the scanner's firmware.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, contact Kodak to ask about updated information and drivers.
