Scanner Problems

The fluorescent lamp isn’t on.

The scanner has a power saving
function (sleep mode); press the

] Start button to “wake” the
scanner.

Make sure the power cord is
plugged into an electrical outlet
and you’ve turn on the scanner
using the

P

Power button.

The scanner doesn’t scan.

Wait until the green indicator
light stays on (ready for
scanning). You may need to
preview your scan to make the
lamp come on.

If you are using a USB hub, try
connecting the scanner directly
to the computer’s USB port. Use
only the USB cable that came
with your scanner.

If you are using IEEE 1394,
make sure these extensions are
selected in the Windows
Extensions Manager:

EPSON

FW Scanner Enabler

,

EPSON

FW Scanner Expert

, and

EPSON FW Scanner Lib

.

If you see your scanner in the
Windows Control Panel, but
you can’t scan, uninstall and
reinstall your scanner software.
