Anyone know why I keep getting time out for header using win96 and the USB cord bought from radio shack?
Assuming you loaded the USB drives when you plugged in the USB cable. The error occurs when either the wrong USB port is selected in Win96, or the scanner is turned off when trying to read/write.
Make sure you have the right port set in Win96 by using these steps,
viewing cable port settings
When the cable is plugged in to your computer, you can view
port settings, such as the COM port number, to specify in your
scanner application software.
1. Open your system’s Control Panel. Double click the System
icon.
2. Select Device Manager, on the Hardware tab. If your system
is Windows 98 (or 98SE), just select Device Manager.
3. Click the “+” sign next to Ports to expand the Ports list.
4. Note the cable’s COM port number for use when you set up
your scanner’s serial port configuration.
