Checking the basics
If the scanner is not working, always perform these actions first.
● Check that the power cable is securely connected between the
scanner and a live electrical outlet or surge protector.
● If the power cable is connected to a surge protector, make sure the
surge protector is plugged into an outlet and turned on.
● Check that the USB or SCSI cable is securely connected between
the scanner and the computer.
● Make sure the scanner is unlocked. Move the lock down to the
unlocked position.
● Disconnect the power cable from the scanner and turn off the
computer. After 30 seconds, reconnect the power cable to the
scanner and then turn on the computer, in that order.
● If a program has frozen, close it. Press OPTION+COMMAND+ESC,
and then click Force Quit.
If these steps did not resolve the issue, see "Starting troubleshooting"
on page 76.
