The machine does | • Check if your machine is attached to your |

scanners list. | properly via the USB port and is turned on. |
| • 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. |

I encounter error | Please avoid changing print job parameters (via |

printing a document. | the print jobs whenever print options are changed |
| and then try to restart the job from the beginning. |
| Since Unified Linux Driver locks port while |
| printing, the abrupt termination of the driver |
| keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable |
| for subsequent print jobs. If this situation |
| occurred, try to release the port. |
