		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.
