STEP 3: CHECKING OUT YOUR SCANNER 11
3. Choose About from the shortcut menu.
A dialog box confirms that the scanner is properly connected.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
That’s it. Your scanner is ready to scan.
See “Scanning Paper Items with the OneTouch Buttons” on page 14.
IF THE SCANNER IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED
If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red “X” through it, the
scanner is not properly connected.
Check for one of these possible problems:
•Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable
connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.
•Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the
light still doesn’t come on, plug the power adapter into another
electrical outlet.
Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner’s glass needs to warm up
before you can scan. A status message lets you know when the lamp is
ready. The lamp then remains ready so you don’t have to wait each
time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and prolong the life of
the scanner, you can set the length of time for the lamp to remain lit
before powering down. See “Setting Preferences” on page 33.
