STEP 3: CHECKING OUT YOUR SCANNER 11

To check the status of the scanner:

1.Place the mouse pointer on the scanner icon in the Windows taskbar.

2.Right-click the icon. The shortcut menu appears.

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 15.

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 31.
