Since the software works on an Old Mac OS, I connected it to an old iMac not used as a workstation anymore. After a few tries I couldn't get the software to work and Vuescan the software from the old scanner that died was on there already, so I turned on the new scanner, and launched Vuescan and it automatically chose the new scanner, which previews and scans in just seconds!

You don't need a plug-in; the Plustek Opticpro A320E Flatbed Scanner can scan directly to third-party software such as Photoshop. By selecting 'Scan Utility', the image will be sent to 3rd party software after scanning, such as Photoshop automatically.
