How can I help iCopy developement?

There are many ways:

  • You can report any bug or problem you find using iCopy, or suggest a new feature, an improvement or express your opinion about any existing feature
  • You can help translating iCopy into your own language and send me your translation, which I'll publish on iCopy download page.
  • You can spread iCopy on the internet: in your favourite forum, software site, bookmarking site and so on.
  • Or you can donate a small account of money (5$) using Sourceforge.net donation system (which uses PayPal accounting system).
Why my scanner isn't recognized by iCopy?

iCopy is based on Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) API, which is a standard interface for image acquisiton introduced in Windows ME. So only scanners which are WIA compatible are recognized by iCopy.

If you think that your scanner is WIA compatible but it isn't recognized by iCopy, try to download WIA Diagnosis tool and post the log to iCopy bug tracker.

I get a "WIA COM component seems unregistered" error or a "wiaaut.dll is not registered"

This error is due to the fact that wiaaut.dll (WIA Automation) library is not registered in your sistem. Usually it is registered by the scanner software, but if you get this error, please do the following:

  • Copy the file wiaaut.dll in iCopy folder to C:\WINDOWS\system32\ (if not already present)
  • Run a Command Prompt with adiministrator rights
  • Type cd C:\WINDOWS\system32\ and press Enter
  • Type regsvr32 wiaaut.dll and press Enter
Which command line parameters can I use?

iCopy can be run as a Windows application, but it has also some command line parameters to copy directly to the printer or to a file

No parameters: standard mode with windows (also if neither /c or /f parameters are passed)

icopy.exe [/c or /f] [params]

icopy.exe /c [/r:resolution] [/n:number of copies] [i:intent] [s:scaling] [/b:brightness] [/cn:contrast] [/p]

icopy.exe /f:path [/r:resolution] [i:intent] [s:scaling] [/b:brightness] [/cn:contrast] [/p]

/c

Directly copy from scanner to printer, using settings provided or else saved settings
/f:path Scan to the provided file path (if omitted, a dialog will appear to ask where to save the file)

Optional parameters:

/r:resolution Specify a valid scanning resolution in DPI (eg 100, 500)
    /n:n of copies Specify the number of copies to be printed (default one copy)
    /i:intent The way the page will be acquired: 1: color, 2: grayscale, 4:text
    /s:scaling The scaling percentage (eg /s:150) default value: 100
    /b:brightness Value from -100 to 100 for brightness
    /cn:contrast Value from -100 to 100 for constrast
    /p Enables preview mode
    I get the error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"

    This error means that .NET Framework 2.0 is not installed or corrupted. Please download and install it, or try to repair its installation.

    iCopy doesn't startup

    This bug has been fixed in version 1.23.

    I get an installation error, or the installer requires .NET Framework 3.5

    Versions from 1.23 use NSIS Installer which should resolve any installation problems. However, if you encounter any problem, please reoprt it.

     

    If you run into any other error or exception, please report it!
