TROUBLESHOOTING
In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this section, please see the Readme file on your installation CD. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems with the scanner.
If you try the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and in the Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, visit our web site at www.visioneer.com for additional technical information.
Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong?
Check for one of these possible causes:
■Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable connections. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely.
■Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the status light doesn’t come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet.
■Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you didn’t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files. Try restarting your computer.
■Did you plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you’re using a USB hub to connect the scanner, the hub must have its own power supply. If the hub does not have its own power supply, plug the scanner into a USB port on the computer.
■Did you select another TWAIN source for acquiring images? If you use multiple TWAIN devices with your computer, you may have selected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software and click the Scan icon, then make sure Visioneer Patriot 430 is selected as the scanner.
Problem: During installation I got the error message: PaperPort Installation is not complete. What do I do?
The installation procedure was not successful. You need to reinstall the PaperPort software.
