Depending on the performance of the computer and the load on it, it may take
time before the power indicator gets illuminated. For example, it may take time
if there are many programs running on the computer. In such case, wait until
the power indicator is steadily on.
If the power indicator keeps blinking several minutes or more, close the paper
chute, await at least five seconds, then reopen it. If this does not change the
situation, check for the cable connection.

occur. Even so, the ScanSnap is not malfunctioning.
• The ScanSnap is initialized several times during startup.
• It may take two to three minutes until the power indicator goes off after your
computer is turned off.
