The machine does

not appear on the

scanners list.

Check if your machine is attached to your

computer. Make sure that it is connected

properly via the USB port and is turned on.

Check if the scanner driver for your machine

is installed in your system. Open Unified

Driver configurator, switch to Scanners

configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure

that driver with a name corresponding to

your machine's name is listed in the window.

Check if the port is not busy. Since functional

components of MFP (printer and scanner)

share the same I/O interface (port), the

situation of simultaneous access of different

“consumer” application to the same port is

possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only

one of them at a time is allowed to gain

control over the device. The other

“consumer” will encounter “device busy”

response. This can usually happen while

starting scan procedure, and appropriate

message box appears.

To identify the source of the problem, you

should open ports configuration and select the

port assigned to your scanner. port's symbol /

dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation

displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1

relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /

dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/

mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In

the Selected port pane you can see if the port is

occupied by some other application. If this is

the case, you should wait for completion of

the current job or should press Release port

button, if you are sure that the present port's

owner is not functioning properly.
