The Epson GT-7000 is a 36-bit colour scanner with an optical resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi, and a maximum hardware resolution using the Micro Step Drive. It has maximum output resolution of 9600 dpi and delivers more than 68 billion colours. The GT-7000 can achieve a resolution with an enhanced resolution. SCSI is a bus technology, which means that all devices connect to a central bus and are 'daisy-chained' together. The SCSI bus is controlled by a host controller which will typically be built into the motherboard, or it can be from a separate expansion card. A SCSI connector is either external or internal. I have SCSI card and Epson GT-7000 Scanner same you, and installed SCSI Card in my computer case but My system cant see SCSI card. My OS System is win seven 64bit. I downloaded your Adaptec 7870 rar file but I dont know where must be install/put these files. The Epson Perfection 1200 SCSI scanner is a one-pass SCSI-interface scanner designed to meet the needs of businesses. Epson's ColorTrue 2 Imaging System delivers a hardware resolution of 1,200 x 2,400 dpi, twice the power of conventional 600 dpi scanners, at processing speeds faster than most in this class.
Preface:
Before I begin discussing my solution to this particular problem, allow me to provide a brief disclaimer:
First, it is important to recognize that this particular error message is inherently (if not intentionally) generic by design and the number of problems that can ultimately produce this particular error is extremely vast.
For example:
- A scanner without power can produce this error message.
- A scanner not connected via Universal Serial Bus (USB) (if applicable) to a computer can produce this error message.
- A scanner not connected via Ethernet or Wi-fi (if applicable) to a local area network (LAN) can produce this error message.
- A scanner with a bad or damaged USB cable (if applicable) can produce this error message.
- A Windows computer that has certain scanner related services disabled can produce this message.
- A computer with improperly or incorrectly installed scanner drivers can produce this error message.
Likewise, there are also a number of other creative (error message) scenarios generally revolving around the notion that some type of communication problem exist between a computer and the scanner.
Conversely, while I might touch upon some of these scenarios within my solution (and hopefully my solution can resolve your particular variation of this problem); however, given that this problem is extremely vague in nature, I can make no guarantees that my solution will resolve your particular variant of this error.
Furthermore, if your scanner utilizes a USB or serial connection, I can definitely say that my solution will not resolve your problem; however, (under such circumstances) I highly recommend that you examine the list provided above, prior to searching the web again, since the majority of USB related problems are cable or Windows service related (at least based upon my research while solving my particular problem).

Second, given the diverse occurrence of this particular problem (since scanners are practically a household item), I attempted to make this article as broad as possible in order to make it more palatable to an assortment of technical backgrounds. Conversely, as a result of this objective, I have incorporated a number of screenshots into this article (since a picture is typically worth a 1000 words) and I would like to briefly mention that these screenshots are being presented (within this article) under the fair use doctrine since their inclusion is strictly educational.
The Software Differential:
Now, with the preface out-of-the-way, allow me to begin providing a brief overview of my current hardware configuration. To begin, I currently own four network scanners:
- A EPSON Workforce 2540,
- A EPSON Workforce 3530,
- A Hewlett Packard Office-jet 6600,
- A Cannon PIXMA MG5522,
that are connected to a mid range overclockableIntel i5 Windows 7 computer with 16 gigabytes of memory via wireless LAN using a older D-LINK DIR-615 router. While such hardware configurations are slightly atypical (excluding the poor quality wireless router) to the average at-home consumer (predominantly because my doctoral research necessitated a rather beefy computer and I have a substantial amount of family pictures I am currently digitizing); however, my ability to scan images via EPSON scan was working perfectly until I installed a rather recent Windows update (likely a update between KB2889936 and KB2899513).
Conversely, while I cannot definitively say that the Windows update created the problem I encountered or if it simply aggravated some inherent instability within the EPSON scan software; nevertheless (after installing these Windows updates) and upon clicking the EPSON scan application icon:
I was greeted with the following error message:
While I am not inherently a stranger to this particular error message (predominately because when my network scanners automatically turn off or they are disconnected the same error message will occur); however, after ensuring that my scanner was powered on and ready, this error message occurred again upon re-executing the EPSON scan application and I knew something far more sinister had occurred.
Likewise, upon performing some preliminary inquiries about this message via Googling (and testing both my EPSON Workforce 2540 and my EPSON Workforce 3530 to no avail), I decided to attempt to connect to my EPSON scanners using another scanning application (in my particular case I used VueScan) and I was able to perform a scan, thus quickly indicating that my issue was software related and not hardware related. Conversely, after ensuring that the EPSON services were running and that the Windows firewall was not blocking communication to the application (via temporarily disabling it), I attempted to reinstall the EPSON scan application to no avail.
The Fix:
Now, upon eliminating the majority of problems that can create this particular error (so much so that most of the online troubleshooting guides were somewhat stumped), the EPSON technical help website did vaguely mentioned that the EPSON scan settings application could be utilized to help resolve this particular error message when everything else fails.
Conversely, upon searching for this application within the Windows 7 Start Menu:
I was fortunately able to find the recommended EPSON Scan Settings application:

Likewise, upon execution of the EPSON Scan Settings Application:
I discovered that the EPSON software was (apparently) not associating the scanner with a network LAN address. Conversely, upon clicking the add button (within the EPSON Scan Settings Application) I was greeted with another dialog box:
Epson Scsi & Raid Devices Driver Download For Windows 10 Xp
And interestingly enough, I discovered that the 'search for address' feature was unable to find my scanner on my local network.
Now, while I could have investigated this issue further (predominantly through sniffing packets via WireShark) in order to try and further isolate the underlying cause of this particular problem (noting that printing to the device worked perfectly and this eliminated some of the network possibilities), I opted to try a more direct approach by manually assigning the scanners IP address via the EPSON Scan Settings application (noting that the dynamic IP feature of my D-Link router kind of makes this approach somewhat undesirable since the scanners LAN IP can change, thus making static IP assignment of my network scanners a good idea in the near future).
Conversely, because I frequently administrate a number of routers and network devices (an attribute that makes the memorization of local LAN IPs rather difficult), I quickly opened a Windows console via the start menu:
Epson Scsi & Raid Devices Driver Download For Windows 10 32-bit
and, upon opening the console application, utilized the IP configuration command (via typing ipconfig) in order to obtain some basic information about my local LAN network, as shown here:
noting that this particular step was predominantly geared for rudimentary home networks. Likewise, (after performing this step) I was able to quickly determine my routers administrative LAN address was 192.168.0.1 upon examining 'the Default Gateway' returned by the ipconfig command.
Conversely, upon entering this address into my web browser (Mozilla Firefox in my particular case):
and upon logging into my routers administrative interface (noting your routers administrative procedures will likely differ from mine) and accessing the list of attached devices on my local network:
I was able to determine that my EPSON workforce printers were located at 192.168.0.195 and 192.168.0.193 respectively (noting that your results will vary but the LAN IP address you obtain can be validated by typing the IP address into a web browser and seeing if the printers web administrative interface appears like so:)

Conversely, with the LAN IP address in hand (noting that you can also physically navigate the scanners status menus via the function keys on the scanner in order to determine this information as well), I typed this information into the EPSON Scan Settings Application (noting that I also created a name to easily identify the scanner in the future ):
and pressed the okay button.
Likewise, upon execution of this particular task, the following menu appeared:
and upon pressing the test button, the following message was obtained:
which indicates that the IP address utilized was correct and that EPSON scan is now able to communicate with the scanner (noting that if you are unable to obtain this message and you are reasonably sure that IP configurations are your underlying problem, you will need to remove the entry you added and try another possible LAN IP address for the printer).
Conversely, upon exiting the EPSON Scan Settings Application (via pressing the OK button) and running the EPSON Scan application again, the application should now be able to communicate with the scanner and everything should work again (noting that if you are still getting the, previously discussed, error message, chances are good that your error message is likely the result of another, previously mentioned, issue and you will unfortunately have to look elsewhere for another solution to your problem).
Conclusion:
At any rate, hopefully this information proves beneficial in your quest to resolve this particular error message (noting that I myself had a heck of a time tracking down this particular variation of the problem); however, if not, I highly recommend that you try and isolate your problem as best as you can and then try searching the EPSON support forums for other possible solutions.
Best Wishes!
A few months ago I upgraded my girlfriends pc to Windows 7 x64. Sadly it was impossible to find a driver for her 99,- EUR scanner (Belkin somewhat USB). So it didn´t worked anymore. Since then she bugged me with that situation and last weekend I promised her to find a solution. Luckily I had an old Epson GT-7000 SCSI scanner fooling around and an Adaptec AHA 2940 AU SCSI Controller. I used both in my old Windows XP set up years ago. And I thought that the Epson scanner is too precious to simply threw it away. (And by the way: the Adaptec card is from 1997 and the scanner might be 1 or 2 years older). I still remember that I got it from my uncle and that it was so incredibly fast even compared to modern USB scanners. So why not use this for my girlfriend ?
But…I knew that my solution may have some flaws. Firstly finding Windows 7 compatible x64 drivers for the Adaptec and secondly finding Windows 7 compatible x64 TWAIN drivers. Since TWAIN might have a bit of a brilliant design it is commonly known as the most shitty peace of protocol / API in computers history. Especially the last point didn´t equipped me with a lot of hope.
Today was the day to check it out. I was happy that my quite modern pc at least still features an PCI bus. So I fitted the Adaptec SCSI controller in it, connected the scanner through an pretty old school SCSI connection cable (after all that modern it didn´t require a terminator (and no, this has nothing to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger)) and turned my pc on full of expectation. Well the surprise wasn´t too big that neither Windows itself nor Windows Update found a driver for at least one of the 2 devices.
But good Google and a guy called “Linky”(Thx !!!!) in this thread of Germany´s 3DNow Forum solved my first problem with a customized Windows 7 x64 compatible driver for the Adaptec controller (it reminded me very much of my sound driver odyssey with Windows XP x64). I was skeptical towards this approach but I suddenly changed my mind after watching 2 minutes of fine Windows driver installation. And there it was. The device manager showed a successfully installed SCSI controller AND it had also recognized my Epson GT 7000 scanner. But no driver for this baby. Well no surprise. (By the way for all you nerds out there: the driver is actually an emulation of the Adaptec AIC 7870 SCSI controller. But it works. Who cares ?)
But somehow I knew that I wouldn´t find a working driver for the scanner at all. And I was right. Shitty TWAIN shit. I ended up with a tool called VueScan. I was already familiar with it, cause I tried to get my girlfriends old scanner working with this tool (it failed). But I gave it one more try and HOLY SHIT IT WORKED !!!
I was astonished ! Surprised ! Wow…
And it´s so easy. After the successful installation of the customized Adaptec driver I downloaded the software and installed it, choosing “yes” when it asked me if I have an old scanner with not working drivers attached (well exactly my case). And again after watching 2 minutes of fine Windows driver installation it worked. Unbelieveable. There is one little drawback. The software is really not cheap. For the standard edition you have to invest around 30,- EUR and for the professional you have to invest around 60,- EUR. But on the other hand the author Ed Hamrick must be the master of TWAIN so it´s just fair to help him out a bit.
To help all you guys out on this, I have uploaded the customized Adaptec driver and attached some screens to make you believe !
