• Check if the scanner driver for your machine is

 

installed in your system. Open the Unified

 

Driver configuration tool, switch to Scanner

 

configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure

 

that the window lists a driver with a name

 

corresponding to your machine's name. Check

 

if the port is not busy. Since functional

 

components of MFP (printer and scanner)

 

share the same I/O interface (port), the

 

situation of simultaneous access to different

 

“consumer” applications using the same port is

 

possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one

 

of them is allowed to gain control over the

 

device at a time. The other “consumer” will

 

encounter a “device busy” response. This

 

usually happens while starting the scan

 

procedure, and an appropriate message box

 

appears.

 

• To identify the source of the problem, you

 

should open ports configuration and select the

 

port assigned to your scanner. The port symbol

 

/dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation

 

displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1

 

relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /

 

dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /

 

dev/mfp4 respectively, and so forth

 

sequentially. In the Selected port pane you can

 

see if the port is occupied with some other

 

application. If this is the case, you should wait

 

for completion of the current job or you should

 

press the Release port button, if you are sure

 

that the port owner is not functioning properly.
