Problem:

The scanner scans properly when you use a bi-directional parallel interface, but when you switch to SCSI, the scanner no longer operates properly.

Cause

During block data transfer mode, your program does not read the entire block at one time, but performs multiple read commands for each data block.

Solution

Change your program so it reads the entire block in one read operation.

Problem:

After using a scanner option (Automatic Document Feeder or Transparency Unit), a different program attempts scanning. Although the second program tries to scan without using the option, the option remains operational.

Cause

Your program did not exit option mode upon completion.

Solution

Always exit option mode upon program completion.
