3. Click OK to close the dialog box.
That’s it. Your scanner is ready to scan.
See “Three Ways to Scan” on page 10.
Note: The scanning lamp under the scanner’s glass needs to warm up before you can scan. A status message lets you know when the lamp is ready. The lamp then remains ready so you don’t have to wait for it to warm up each time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and prolong the life of the scanner, you can set the length of time for the lamp to remain lit before powering down. See “Setting Preferences” on page 22.
IF
THE SCANNER IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED
If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red “X” through it, the scanner is not properly connected.
Check for one of these possible problems:
Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable
connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.
Is the scanner’s power light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the
light still doesn’t come on, plug the power adapter into another electrical outlet.
Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you
didn’t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files. Try restarting your computer.
Please see the Readme file in the PaperPort directory on your computer’s hard drive. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems connecting the scanner. Also see “Installation Troubleshooting” on page 35 of this Guide for more information.
STEP 3: CHECKING OUT YOUR SCANNER
To connect the scanner:
1. After checking for all the above problems, right-click the scanner icon with the red X over it.
The shortcut menu appears.
2. Choose Connect from the shortcut menu.
The software finds the scanner and makes the connection. The scanner icon will no longer have a red X through it, and you’re ready to begin scanning.
9
If you try all the troubleshooting procedures described above and in the Readme file, and the scanner icon still has a red X through it, you may have a malfunctioning scanner. Please see “Contacting Visioneer for Technical Support” on page 36 for technical assistance telephone numbers. Also visit our web site at www.visioneer.com for additional technical information.
