Testing the Scanner and the Connection

Caution: Check if the scanner is properly unlocked. See also Unlocking the Scanner.
" Note: Make sure to test the scanner and the connection before connecting the scanner to your
PC.
1 Connect the power cord to the scanner.
Make sure that you are using the correct power cord for the voltage in your area. Double-check
whether the voltage indicated on the back panel of the scanner corresponds with the voltage in
your area. If not, contact your dealer or Agfa service representative.
2 Switch on the scanner.
The scanner performs a self-test in which first the power indicator (green) switches on and the
busy indicators start blinking. After a few seconds, the busy indicator for transparency
scanning 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.
If a malfunction is detected during the self-test, that is, if the busy indicator remains blinking or
goes off, refer to Appendix A: Troubleshooting.
