Use the chart below as a guide to check possible solutions to problems you may encounter when using the Kodak i1200/i1300 Series Scanner.

Problem	Possible Solution

	• the power switch is on.
	• the wall outlet is not defective (call a licensed electrician).

Scanner is running too slow	The Kodak i1200 and i1300 Series Scanners are rated and designed to
	operate with USB 2.0, but will function in a USB 1.1 port. If you are using
	USB 1.1, the scanner will perform at a slower speed. Update your
	operating system or hardware to one that supports USB 2.0.
