The status LED flashes
rapidly (scanner connected
to computer)
• A connection error or scanner hardware malfunction
has occurred
Turn the scanner and computer off and disconnect the scan-
ner from the computer. Wait five seconds, then turn the
scanner on again. If the status LED flashes rapidly, a hard-
ware malfunction has occurred. Contact your retailer or
Nikon service representative for advice. If the status LED
blinks slowly at first and then glows steadily, turn the scan-
ner off and reconnect it to your computer, then start your
computer and turn the scanner on. If the status LED flashes
rapidly after the scanner is reconnected and turned on, there
may be a problem with the interface between the scanner
and the computer. Try the following measures to resolve
the problem:
• Disconnect all other devices that use same interface as the
scanner
• Re-install Nikon Scan
• Update the device drivers for IEEE 1394/Firewire interface
(Windows 98 SE only)
• Update the device drivers for your scanner (Windows only)
