1. Common Problems and Solutions

This section provides recommended solutions to common problems.

If you have a problem that is not solved by the following, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

Problem 1

The scanner will not turn on.

Solutions

(1)

Confirm that the power switch is set correctly.

 

(2)

Confirm that the AC adapter is plugged firmly into a power

 

 

outlet.

 

(3)

When the power switch is in the AUTO position, the scanner only

 

 

turns on when the computer is on.

Problem 2

The scanner is not recognized.

Solutions

(1) Confirm that the scanner is properly connected to the computer

 

 

with a USB cable.

 

(2)

Confirm that the scanner is turned on. See the previous problem

 

 

(1) if the scanner does not turn on.

 

(3)

The computer’s USB interface may not support the scanner. The

 

 

scanner cannot be guaranteed to work with all USB interfaces.

 

(4)

Confirm that the supplied USB cable is used to connect the

 

 

scanner to the computer. The scanner cannot be guaranteed to

 

 

work with all available USB cables.

 

(5)

If the scanner is connected to the computer via a USB hub, try

 

 

removing the hub and connecting directly to the computer.

Problem 3

Documents feed askew (scanned images are slanted).

Solutions

(1)

Align the document guides to fit the documents as closely as

 

 

possible, and load the documents so that they feed straightly.

 

(2)

Enable the [Deskew] scanner driver setting.

 

(3)

If many pages have been scanned since roller cleaning, clean the

 

 

rollers. If documents still feed askew, roller replacement or other

 

 

maintenance may be needed. See Chapter 7 Maintenance for

 

 

roller replacement procedures.
