BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:

you to allow the installation to proceed. Although the messages will
differ based on the software your computer is running, in each case
you should allow the installation to proceed if that option is
available. Alternatively, you can turn off the AntiVirus or
AntiSpyware software before installing your scanner. But if you do,
make sure to turn it back on again when installation is finished.

■ If you already have a scanner connected to your computer, you may

need to remove its driver programs first before beginning the
installation of your Visioneer 9450 USB scanner. Please see “How

several different methods to scan, as explained in this User Guide.

■ TWAIN only—Only the TWAIN driver is installed. You will only

have access to the Visioneer 9450 TWAIN driver and WIA. You will
not be able to use the OneTouch software.

WIA is only available if

your computer is running Windows XP.

Note: If you decide to change your scanner’s installed drivers later
on, you must first uninstall the drivers the scanner is currently using.
See the section “To Install Another Driver” on page 135.

14 VISIONEER 9450 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

13. Click Next.

During installation you will see this window asking you to select
one of the images for your Color Space setting.

The Color Space setting sets the gamma value for the scanner so
scanned items look good on your monitor. Gamma controls the
brightness of the midtones of colors. That setting can be changed
later on as you’re scanning.

14. Select the option that looks best to you and click Next.

The driver installation will now begin.

STEP 2: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE 15

Note: Only use the power supply (HEG42-240100-7L(A) LF made
by HiTRON) included with your scanner. Connecting any other type
of power supply may damage your scanner and will void its warranty.

2. Plug the power cord into the power supply and then into a wall
outlet.

Now proceed to the next section, “Step 4: Connect the USB Cable
and Turn on the Power.”

18 VISIONEER 9450 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

STEP 4: CONNECT THE USB CABLE AND TURN ON THE

OWER

P

Your Visioneer 9450 scanner connects to any available USB port. Check
your computer’s manual for the USB port locations.

Note: You can connect the scanner to your computer while the
computer is running. You do not have to shut down your computer.

1. Remove any protective tape from the USB cable.

2. Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the scanner then into a
USB port on the computer. Connection to a USB 2.0 High Speed
port provides optimum performance, however your scanner will
also connect to a USB 1.1 port.

The USB symbol, as seen in the above diagram, identifies the
location of the USB port on your computer. If the plug does not
attach easily, make sure that you are plugging it in correctly. Do not
force the plug into the connection.

You can also connect the scanner to a USB port on the computer’s
keyboard if it has one, or to a USB hub. If you use a USB hub, it
must have its own power supply already plugged into an electrical
outlet.

STEP 4: CONNECT THE USB CABLE AND TURN ON THE POWER 19

Note: If you have not installed the scanner driver, unplug the USB
cable from the computer and install the software now. When the
driver installation is complete, a message tells you when to connect
the scanner.

3. Turn on the power switch, located on the back of the scanner.

The status light comes on and flashes indicating that the scanner is
receiving power.

If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2, and have plugged the
USB cable into a USB 1.1 port, an information bubble may open
explaining that “A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non­HI-SPEED USB hub”. Plug the USB cable into a USB 2.0 port (if
available) or just disregard the message. If you leave it plugged into
the USB 1.1 port, your scanner may scan a bit slower.

20 VISIONEER 9450 SCANNER USER’S GUIDE

4. Your computer recognizes that a scanner is plugged into the USB
port and automatically loads the appropriate driver software to run
the scanner.

Do not proceed until you receive a message that your computer has
found the new hardware, or updated the driver database. If your
computer is running Windows XP, you will see the following message.

If your computer is running Windows 2000 and the “Digital
Signature Not Found” message appears, click Yes .

5. When you’re certain that the software has completely loaded, return
to the “Complete the installation by connecting your hardware”
window.

STEP 4: CONNECT THE USB CABLE AND TURN ON THE POWER 21

Note: To see more information about your scanner, click the More
button on the window. When you’re finished, return to the window
above to continue with the installation process.

6. Click OK.

The scanner’s status light is green when the scanner and computer
are communicating properly.

7. Click Close on the Installation Complete window to close and exit
the software installer.
