6. Troubleshooting

1. My computer doesn’t detect my scanner

If you are unable to scan images using the supplied software, try the following

E N G L I S H

solution: The problem might be that the scanner is not installed correctly and
appears as an Unknown Device.

a. Enter the Device Manager and right click on Unknown Device and then

select Update Driver Software.
b. Select automatic driver search.
c. Make sure that the driver and software on the CD-ROM have already

been installed.
d. The scanner should now be listed under Imaging Devices as “OVT Scanner”.

e. If it still doesn’t work, you probably have another imaging device installed which

is creating a conict within the program.
f. You should go to the Device Manager and look under Imaging Device for any

other device that might be active such as a web camera or digital camera.
g. Right click on these devices and select Inactivate. (You might need to restart

Windows for the changes to take effect)
h. The software should now work.

2. The scanned images are either overexposed or too bright.

a. Make sure that you wait at least 5 seconds before clicking Copy/Snapshot

after inserting the negatives into the negative holder.
b. Make sure that the negative is centered in the holder; otherwise, the colour

reproduction may be incorrect.

10

3. There are dots on the scanned images.

Make sure the negative/slide is not dusty or that the opening around the holder

is not dusty or contains other debris. Use an aerosol tin of compressed air to
remove any dust or debris.

4. I have a problem when transfering images to a le a PhotoImpression le.
The error message “Failed to get image data” is shown every time
I press COPY or SNAPSHOT.

Remove the USB plug from the computer and connect it again. Make sure the

computer nds your scanner when you connect it. Try another USB port.

5. The negative scanner does not start.

Make sure that the scanner’s USB plug is connected to a USB port. It only

works when it is connectd to a USB port.

6. Why do my pictures look divided on the screen?

The negative/slides are incorrectly mounted in the holder. Check the alignment

of the negative/slides.

7. Why do my pictures look upside down or in the wrong direction?

The negative/slides are incorrectly mounted in the holder. Check the alignment

of the negative/slides.

8. Why does the error message USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED appear
when I connect the scanner to a USB port?

Make sure you are running Windows Vista or XP as your operative system.

Remove the USB plug from the computer and connect it again. Try connecting
to another USB port. Make sure that the PhotoImpression device drivers are
correctly installed on your computer. Restart your computer.

E N G L I S H

9. When I click “GET PHOTOS” or PhotoImpression the error message “Error ­Can not nd camera please connect OmniVision Super Cam!” comes up.

Make sure that the PhotoImpression device

drivers are correctly installed on your
computer. Restart your computer. Make
sure the computer nds your scanner when
you connect it. Try another USB port.

11

10. How can I make sure that the PhotoImpression device drivers are cor­rectly installed on my computer?

Go to: Start--> Control Panel--> Add or Remove Programs.

Remove program: OVT Scanner (device drivers) and ArcSoft PhotoImpression

E N G L I S H

6 (software).
Restart your computer and reinstall starting with the device drivers rst then
ArcSoft PhotoImpression.

11. Why does the dialogue box “A service installation section in this INF is
invalid” come up?

This message means that the device drivers have not been correctly installed.

Try these steps:

a. Turn off your antivirus program tem-

porarily and then reinstall ArcSoft
PhotoImpression rst and then
the device drivers. Reactivate your
antivirus program after making sure
that the software is now correctly
installed. (The antivirus program may
have blocked P16 in the software).

b. Make sure that the scanner is cor-

rectly connected to a USB port on
your computer.

12. When I use the ArcSoft PhotoImpression feature, the error message
“PhotoImpression has stopped working” is shown on the screen.

This situation occures when the ArcSoft PhotoImpression software transfers

a large amount of data (or if another application is taking up a lot of resources)
which overloads the memory. Restart the program and close all other applica­tions to free up more resources on your computer.

12

13. The error message: ArcSoft PhotoImpression has encountered
a problem...is shown.

Click Don´t Send and restart
the program.

14. Why can’t I use the Arcsoft Photoimpression Live View Window?

If you are using Windows Vista make sure the “UAC” (user account control) is

disabled and reinstall the device drivers then follow these steps:

a. Go to Start → control panel → classic view → user accounts → activate or

deactivate user account → Use user account control (UAC) to protect your
computer. Step 4 below shows how it looks when UAC is deactivated.

E N G L I S H

Step 1 Step 2

Step 4Step 3

b. Make sure that no similar USB2.0 devices like web cameras, USB ash drives,

etc. are connected to your computer.

c. Turn off your antivirus program temporarily. Reactivate your antivirus program

after making sure that the software is now correctly installed.
