port on the computer. (Check your computer’s manual for USB port
locations.)
If you use a USB hub, it must have its own power supply already plugged
into an electrical outlet.
Note: Only use the power supply (HEG42-240200-7L made by HiTron)
included with your scanner. Connecting any other type of power supply may
damage your scanner, and will void its warranty.

The status light comes on and flashes indicating that the scanner is
receiving power.
If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, 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 non-HISPEED 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.
4. Your computer then recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the
USB port and automatically loads the appropriate software to run the
scanner.
If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will see a
Found New Hardware message similar to the following.
The scanner’s status light is green when the scanner and computer are
communicating properly.
