My Fujitsu fi-6130Z Scanner Notes

Written by

Official Sites

NB: Newer models of the scanner might have newer versions of software on their download pages. But you will need a serial and part number for the relevant scanner.

Installing

  • Power the scanner on but do not connect the USB to your PC
    • If you have already plugged the scanner in your will find it listed as an "Unknown Device"
  • Download the drivers FUJITSU TWAIN32 Version 10.21.700 (or the latest available)
    • Unless you are doing network scanning you can use the one with the "Scanner Central Admin Agent"
    • The version number for this file is for the Scanner Utility rather than using the driver version.
  • Run the FtaljgX1.exe driver file you have just downloaded
    • it will extract files to a folder called Disk1
    • I ran this EXE as administrator just to make sure it installs correctly.
  • Navigate the the Disk1 folder and run setup.exe
  • Follow the wizard through leaving both these options on:
    • Scanner Utility for Microsoft Windows (10.21.700) = This installs the TWAIN apps and Windows drivers.
      Software Operations Panel (3.7.16.0) = The Scanners control panel and installs as an APP.
  • Restart the PC when requested
  • Uninstall "FUJITSU Scanner USB Hotfix" (optional)
    • I am not sure what this does but might not be needed any more.
  • Connect the scanner to you PC with the USB cable and check it is recognised as follows:
  • Once installed, the driver is as follows:
    • The driver name is: fi-6130Zdj
    • Driver Provider: FUJITSU
    • Driver Date: 04/02/2025
    • Driver version: 9.25.17.0
    • Driver Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

Notes

  • Alternatively once you have installed the drivers onto your Windows PC, you can use a driver extraction tool to grab just the required drivers files for your scanner because the installer install a lot of useless junk that is only used for TWAIN.
  • I think you can uninstall the "FUJITSU USB Hot fix" as this will of been for an old operating system, but I do not know what this does.

Misc

Troubleshooting

  • General
    • Apps will not see the scanner but it is shown in my device manager
      • This is probably because the APPs will only talk via TWAIN and there is some incompatibility.
      • This is my guess.
  • Installing on Windows
    • Fujitsu Scanner not recognizing - Hardware - Spiceworks Community
      • A couple of potential solutions mentioned here.
      • You will need to download the software (full suite) or use the disk that came with the scanner. Once you have that (leave the scanner disconnected), install the twain and isis drivers. Also go ahead and install the scandall pro software (it’s pretty good). Once all of that is installed, reboot and connect the scanner. It will then show up under devices and printers.
      • Install Paper Stream IP Driver for Windows 10 for fi-6130Z. TWAIN driver is not compatible any more for this scanner with Windows 10.
    • New to Fujitsu fi-6130 : r/Fujitsu | Reddit
      • Downloaded the fi-6130 setup CD from here.
      • I'm not certain if the TWAIN driver works in Windows 10/11, so in ScandALL you may need to go into Tool -> Preferences -> Scan and change it from TWAIN to ISIS.
      • Use NAPS2
  • Installing on Windows 11
    • Important Notice - the Use of Scanners in in Windows 11, version 24H2 | Global | Ricoh
    • Scanner Twain driver for Windows 11 - or how to make Windows 11 allow - Microsoft Community
      • Pete Schliebner
        • It's not just Fujitsu scanners that are affected. I am pretty sure that it is all scanners, and twain drivers, in general. None of the OEM's have a clue how to fix it. This seems like a typical Microcrap decision to force everyone to use the very limited Microsoft WSD drivers for scanners and printers and then only use the apps that MS "approves". Doesn't cause as many problems with printers, but it severely limits the scanner functions.
      • M.O.118
        • In Dec 2024, we transitioned from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (24H2) on a new PC at work. Connection problem with Fujitsu fi-6130dj scanner which worked in Windows 10. Installation of Windows 11 TWAIN driver from manufacturer was successful. The scanner was listed working in Device Manager but the scanner either did not show or showed as "WIA No Friendly Name" in any application. After some searching, I found the following instruction:
        • At the step: "{Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware] window and click [Next]", 2 entries of fi-6130dj showed. I chose the 2nd one and voila, the TWAIN driver AND WIA driver for the Fujitsu scanner were restored. Now both TWAIN and WIA show in all applications. Hopefully, the same process will fix scanners/multifunction machines of other brands. If you have only one driver listed in the last step, it's an easy choice. If you have 2 listings like mine, try one or the other to see which works. Good luck.
    • Use NAPS2 if you are having connetion problems.
