performance. If you still experience problems with your scanning speed, follow the directions on page A-2 and A-3 to verify the scanner’s port address and possibly change your computer’s BIOS setup.
Printer Problems?
Cannot print to printer
Check the cable connections on the printer and the scanner. Be sure the cable is plugged into the port marked Printer on the back of the scanner.
Bi-Directional Printers
The parallel port does not support Bi-directional printers such as those made by Hewlett-Packard. Therefore you will need to change your printer port in your computer’s BIOS or CMOS settings to EPP or SPP insteadofbi-directional.

About the pass-through port
The ImageReader Express and ImageReader Elite EPP scanners are both conveniently equipped with a pass-through port. This port allows you to connect any other parallel port device such as a printer to the scanner so that they can share the same port from your computer.
To use the pass-through port, connect the printer’s cable to the port labeled Printer on the back of the scanner. Both the scanner and the printer are now sharing the same parallel port and can be used at any time, except in tandem.
TWAIN Errors
If your computer cannot find or does not recognize the scanner:
1.Some computer systems will not recognize an installed scanner unless the computer has completed it start-process entirely BEFORE the scanner is plugged-in. Turn off the computer and un-plug the scanner’s AC power cord from the power outlet, then turn on the computer. After the computer has completed start-up and is running windows, plug-in scanner and attempt scan.
