SERVICE FIRST AID FOR MALFUNCTIONS TROUBLESHOOTING In most cases, scanner problems have simple causes. We would like to give you some tips to solve the most common problems. Should these tips not help you solve your problems, please call us. BASIC INSTRUCTIONS ¾ Regularly running the Windows® program “Defragmentation” and “Scan disc” can eliminate errors and increase the operating system’s performance. CHECK CONNECTIONS AND CABLES Start by carefully checking all cable connections visually.
Flat bed scanner is not recognized: ¾ Did you restart the computer after installing the software from the supplied CDROM? ¾ Is it possible that an active scanning operation has not been completed? Check whether any programs that have access to the scanner are open. If applicable, close any scanner applications not required at the moment (e.g. OCR) to continue the desired operation. The scanned images require too much memory. The resolution selected is too high.
