  If your Visioneer Scanner isn’t scanning, check these potential solutions: * Ensure the cable connections are secure. * Verify the scanner's power is on and plugged into a working electrical outlet. * Restart your computer to ensure all software files have loaded correctly. * If using a USB hub, make sure it has its own power supply; otherwise, plug the scanner directly into a USB port on the computer. * In the PaperPort software, confirm that Visioneer Strobe 500 is selected as the scanner.

  If the paper jams in the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) of your Visioneer scanner: * Smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, and adjust the guides to the paper size. Paper fed at an angle can cause jams. * Clean the roller with a soft cloth dampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol to remove any excessive dust.

  If the installation of your Visioneer Strobe 500 scanner does not complete successfully, or if the OneTouch options do not work properly after installation, it may be due to existing driver programs for another scanner on your computer. You need to remove those other drivers and reinstall your Visioneer Strobe 500 scanner.

  Christine FloresAug 31, 2025
  If the ADF on your Visioneer scanner isn’t feeding pages correctly, try cleaning the roller first. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the pad assembly may need to be replaced, as the issue could be a dirty or worn ADF pad assembly or dirt on the roller.

Why am I getting blank pages with my Visioneer scanner?
- J
  jkaiserSep 10, 2025
  If you are getting blank pages, or pages with lines, when Crop to Original is selected on your Visioneer scanner, the pages were probably scanned in crooked, or skewed. Adjust the paper guides on the scanner so pages feed in straight.
