Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong?
Check for one of these possible problems:
•Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.
•Are the scanner’s status lights on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the lights still don’t come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet.
•Is the scanner’s locking tab in the locked position? If you tried to scan with the scanner locked, you must unlock the scanner and then restart both the computer and the scanner. Slide the locking tab to the unlocked position and turn off the power to the scanner. Then, restart your computer. While the computer is restarting, turn on the power to the scanner.
•Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you didn’t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files. Try restarting your computer.
•Did you select another TWAIN source for scanning? If you use multiple TWAIN devices with your computer, you may have selected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software, then click the Scan icon and choose Visioneer 9650.
