3.13
CD
Solves image quality problem with PowerLook III (only) (image too bright), fixes problem of scanning at 2400dpi >8.33" wide (PowerLook III only).

Versions 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13 are known to contain a bug which affects the scanner networking driver, UMAX Share - this problem akes it impossible to connect scanners via a network, with the Preview and Scan buttons greyed out. A patch fixing this problem will be released by 031097.

Version 3.13 will be the last MagcScan release which supports the UC scanners and the PowerLook (I) - owing to technical limitations of these models, the future MagicScan v4.0 release will only be compatible with later scanners.
