Checking the basics
If the scanner is not working, always perform these actions first.
Check that the power cable is securely connected between the
scanner and a live electrical outlet or surge protector.
If the power cable is connected to a surge protector, make sure the
surge protector is plugged into an outlet and turned on.
Check that the interface cable is securely connected between the
scanner and the computer.
Make sure the scanner is unlocked. Move the lock to the unlocked
position. (Some models only, see "Front panel and accessories
comparisons" on page 3.)
Disconnect the power cable from the scanner and turn off the
computer. After 30 seconds, reconnect the power cable to the
scanner and then turn on the computer, in that order.
If a program has frozen, close it. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open
Close Programs or Task Manager. Select any program listed as
Not Responding and click End Task.
If these steps did not resolve the issue, see "Starting troubleshooting"
on page 86.
