    Hi,

    as already posted, I had similar problems with a Microtek X6 and -
    indeed - it turned out to be a firmware bug.
    My (buggy) Firmware version was V1.3 and now it works fine with V1.6.
    Unfortunately Microtek refused to give me a firmware update,
    so you will probably have to find someone with a more recent
    firmware version, who is willing to make a copy (EPROM)
    Sorry, that I can't help with ** your ** model.

    Harald
