Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong?

Check for one of these possible problems:

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 scanning source from a TWAIN application? If you use multiple devices with your computer, you may have selected another source for images with your TWAIN scanning application. Make sure your Visioneer 680 scanner is the selected scanning device.
