may be defective. Replace them.
7. Is the paper feed method set correctly in the MultiPASS Toolbar settings?
Choose between loading the document on the platen glass or ADF.
8. After installing the MultiPASS Suite, did you install a TWAIN-compatible application?
If this is the case, the TWAIN system file is replaced with something inappropriate and you will be
unable to scan images. If this happens, reinstall the MultiPASS Suite.
