  If the Kodak Scanner will not scan or feed documents, check the following: * Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the back of the scanner and the wall outlet. * Verify the power supply green LED is lit. * Confirm the power switch is on. * Ensure the wall outlet is not defective. * Confirm the PC was restarted after installing the software. * Make sure the document(s) is making contact with the feed rollers. If feeding a stack of documents (more than 40) at a 25 degree angle, shingle the bottom documents so the feed rollers can grasp the first document.
