Checking the basics
If the scanner is not working, always perform these actions first.
Check that the power cable is securely connected between the | |
| scanner and a live electrical outlet or surge protector. |
If the power cable is connected to a surge protector, make sure the | |
| surge protector is plugged into an outlet and turned on. |
Check that the interface cable is securely connected between the | |
| scanner and the computer. |
Make sure the scanner is unlocked. Move the lock to the unlocked | |
| position. (Some models only, see "Front panel and accessories |
| comparisons" on page 3.) |
Disconnect the power cable from the scanner and turn off the | |
| computer. After 30 seconds, reconnect the power cable to the |
| scanner and then turn on the computer, in that order. |
If a program has frozen, close it. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open | |
| Close Programs or Task Manager. Select any program listed as |
| Not Responding and click End Task. |
If these steps did not resolve the issue, see "Starting troubleshooting" on page 86.
