All,
One is able to tie an Applescript to each of the buttons on a USB flatbed scanner. I ran in to some complications, and now I need a way to assign those buttons scripts, if possible.
If you have any suggestions on where to go for driver programming or how to attack this problem, it would be appreciated.
I am using an Epson Perfection 2400 Photo (GT9300) USB Scanner.

I vaguely remember setting up the button actions with an HP scanner. Can’t remember how. Does the Epson software do anything for you? Try looking at the image capture app. It might be in there.
Yea, you can set the buttons in Image Capture with the Apple built driver, but when you install the Epson scanner for the 2400, the button assignment goes away (in Image Capture).
Unfortunately, for ReadIris 11 Pro, you need Epson’s version of the driver. Not sure why yet. I need the ReadIris functionality, so I have to go without button assignment. I thought maybe there was someone out there that got in a similar bind.
Thanks for trying.
On a more primative level - I have /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Image\ Capture\ Scripting.app, and I can show it in the AppleScript Library window too, but I can’t actually see its dictionary; not by any means in the Library window nor by dragging its icon to the Script Editor icon. How does one view it? [I have version 3, and OS X 10.4.3}
Adam,
I did quite a bit of online research on scripting Image Capture in Tiger (I am at 10.4.3, as well). Apparently, the inclusion of the Image Capture Scripting dictionary is a mistake. Apple now purports the Image Events addition to be used to do any AppleScript’ing with.
