face up in the ADF.

 

There may not be enough available memory

 

 

to hold the document you want to scan. Try

 

 

the Prescan function to see if that works. Try

 

 

lowering the scan resolution rate.

 

Check that the USB or parallel cable is

 

 

connected properly.

 

Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is

 

 

not defective. Switch the cable with a known

 

 

good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

 

• If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it

 

 

is compliant with IEEE 1284 standards.

 

Check that the scanner is configured

 

 

correctly. Check scan setting in the SmarThru

received data has been printed.

 

Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.

 

Communication speed slows in scan mode

 

 

because of the large amount of memory

 

 

required to analyze and reproduce the

 

 

scanned image. Set your computer to the

 

 

ECP printer mode through BIOS setting. It

 

 

will help to increase the speed. For details

 

 

about how to set BIOS, refer to your

 

 

computer user’s guide.
