FS 6600 Dia scanner

This is the 5 megapixel (1800 dpi) scanner from Maginon/Traveler called the FS 6600. It can operate standalone with a 5V usb power supply (or powerpack) and records it's images on a sd card.

It uses the STK2365 SOC and has Winbond W9864G6KH-6 RAM chip.

The image sensor is the OV5650 low-light and low-noise chip, that can also be found in the Apple iPhone 4 as main image sensor. The maximum resolution is 2592x1944 (4:3).

For getting the firmware version you hold the UP button while pushing the power button. It will display the firmware in the lower left corner like: FWS5FG1MAV001G. In the lower right corner you see the image sensor type: OV5650

But you can use the scanner also as a TWAIN device to scan directly to your photo software using the USB cable.
I find this much more convenient, faster and more efficient.

How to use the FS 6600 as TWAIN device?

If you hold the DOWN button while pushing the power button it will behave as a Windows Imaging device. You will see that it has USB PnP id USB\VID_05E1&PID_0B01and you need to install the proper driver for it. The STK02N XP-Win7 32/64 2.4.1 driver can be found here.

You can try the STK03N driver too but is not stable (BSOD IRQ problems).

• You need to install this driver first on your Windows PC.

• Remove the sd card from the scanner

• Then connect your scanner with usb to your pc

• Hold the DOWN button while powering on

• It will install as Imaging Device with the name "Standard Camera"

If you hold the OK button while powering on it will Behave like a STK02H device. Although I have the drivers for that it doesn't work at all.

Now you need Photo software that is capable of TWAIN. I use IBM Perfect Photo. You can download it from my site with this link.

Once you have selected the TWAIN import you see the options like the screen below. Although it is only a 5 Megapixel sensor you can select 12 Megapixel.

It will do the sub sampling for you to get higher resolution. Set Quality at 6 for the best result.
