Connecting your scanner using the USB cable
USB is hot-plugable: you can connect or disconnect the USB cable at any time (without shutting
down your computer).

4 Switch on the scanner.
The scanner performs a self-test: First, the power indicator switches on and the busy
indicators start blinking. After a few seconds, the busy indicator for transparency scanning also
switches on while the busy indicator for reflective scanning continues blinking for about 30
seconds. At the end of the self-test, the blinking busy indicator also switches on.
" Note: If a malfunction is detected during the self-test, that is, if the busy indicators remain
blinking or go off, refer to Appendix A: Troubleshooting.
