Try reducing the resolution of your image, reduce the scanning area, change the mode, or free up
hard drive space. Information on how to change the resolution, mode and scanning area is in the
scanner User’s Guide. Freeing up hard drive space is a matter of deleting or otherwise removing
unneeded files or programs. Information on how to do delete files is in Windows documentation.
Which files you delete or remove is your decision (only you know what is important to you). Some
software has special uninstall programs to remove them from your computer. The alternative to
freeing up hard drive space is getting a larger hard drive.
How do I use the application software?
Situation & Solution: The manuals for the software are on the CD-ROM disc that came with
your scanner. They are in pdf format that can only be read with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. The
Reader installation is also on the CD (see Included Software Applicaitons in this manual). If you
want printed manuals, you can print from the Adobe Acrobat Reader (for pdf files). Info does not
offer any pre-printed or bound manuals.
Printer Setup and Operation
What is the function of the pass-through port?
Situation & solution: The pass-through port will allow you to connect your printer to the
scanner so they can share the same parallel port on your computer. In most cases, you will not need
to install a second parallel port to have both the scanner and printer work on the same computer.
Connect the scanner cable directly to the parallel port on the computer (the port where your printer
has been connected). Connect the scanner cable to the port on the scanner labeled To PC Parallel
Port. Connect the printer cable to the port on the scanner labeled To Printer. Make sure all connec-
tions are tightly connected and screwed into place.
Sometimes, while my printer is connected to the scanner, my printer does not
work.
Situation & solution: There are several things to check:
1. Your scanner may be off. Make sure the scanner is turned on when you want to print (indicated by
the power light on the front of the scanner).
2. Check the scanner cable connection. Be sure the printer cable is plugged into the port marked To
Printer on the back of the scanner.
3. Occasionally there may be a conflict between the ImageReader Ultra and specific printers. If you
get an error message “Printer not found” or “Printer not recognized”, you may need to adjust your
printer spooler to print direct to printer rather than print to spooler.
