Scanner has stopped working correctly

If the scanner stops scanning, follow these steps. After each step, start a scan to see

if the scanner is working. If the problem persists, proceed with the next step.

1.

A cable might be loose. Ensure that both the USB cable and power supply are

properly connected.

Use the cable that was included with the scanner. Another USB cable might

not be compatible with the scanner.

2.

Ensure that the scanner is receiving power.

a. Check that the green LED on the power supply case is on.

b. If the green LED is not on, ensure that power is available to the power

outlet or surge protector that the power supply is plugged into.

c. If power is available to the power outlet or surge protector but the green

LED is still not on, the power supply might be defective. Contact
