    Ricoh Aficio 240W Plotbase Scanbase 1.5

    I have a license/RSP file for scanbase 1.5 but cannot find it anwhere on the net and lost my install CD. I'm rebuilding a machine after a HDD crash.

    Does anyone have the software?

    Thanks much!

    (thanks to everyone who helped with other issues and PM me!. I have plotbase working, but not scanbase. Ratio is the worst software maker I've ever encountered, this is so archaic.....)

    Version 1.5???

    Seriously???

    Version 3.7 has been out for a long time now; I'm not sure, but I think 1.5 is like from maybe 2001 or 2002!!

    I'm sure that it won't be free to upgrade, but I don't see where you have any choice. (Assuming, of course, that you truly are at 1.5.)

    Admittedly, even 3.x is a bit clunky, but I just can't imagine a version 1.anything of this software.

      Yes, version 1.5

      I have plotbase 3.3 something, and scanbase 1.5, we got it when the machine came out, in 2003 or 2004. It works great, no problems. I don't have the money to upgrade, I just need 1.5 which I have the license for.

        If you do the upgrade yourself, I don't think you should incur any service charge. Contact the dealer you got it from and they can download and burn it to a disc for you. The software is free to download from the manufacturers website, but it is a whopper of a file (600MB+) so it's not conducive to sharing online. Even if they want to charge you for the time to make you the CD, it's well worth your money if you can't afford a dealer upgrade/service. If that all fails, you might ask for a list of customers who might have the disc you need.
        the savin2535 is displaying well bet the hiter lamp is not shining and the lamp had been tested o.k.please kindly help.

          Thanks a lot for the reply.....I found only the newest version online, for which I do not have a valid RSP file, and does not work (it gives me RSP error)

          I contacted ratio and they only want to sell me an upgrade, not give me my old software...also my dealer went out of business...

          I don't mind the 600mg download, I have a fios connection, I just need to find the old software....

          Thanks again for taking the time to respond....

            If you don't have a Ricoh dealer in the area, look up a Savin (Savin 2400WD) or Lanier ( Lanier LW310 or Gestetner A045) dealer and give them a call. I can't believe no one in the Boston area would be willing to help you out, even if there is a small charge for the disc.

              Scanbase

              Hi southboston!
              It seems that I had the same problem with my PC and have to reinstal Scanbase 1.5.
              I have original CD! Do you still need a software?

                  Not asking for much, are we...the rsp file is the LICENSE file!!!

                  Anyone stupid enough to send this to you would need to have their head examined!!!
