from the rear of the scanner.

• Make sure documents that have ink or correction fluid on them are completely dry.

• Certain types of plastic cards may be scratched when scanned. To prevent damage to the card, we

recommended using the Carrier Sheet. For more information, see Loading the Carrier Sheet on page 16.

Important Carrier Sheet tips

 To avoid document jams, do not load the Carrier Sheet upside down. For more information, see Loading

 Do not write on the Carrier Sheet, as the writing may be seen in scanned documents. If the Carrier Sheet

becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.

documents may bleed through onto the Carrier Sheet.

Troubleshooting

Scanning difficulties

Difficulty Cause Suggestions

My scanner does not

turn on.

The supplied Micro USB Cable is not

connected securely.

Make sure the Micro USB Cable is securely con-

nected to your scanner and computer.

The battery is low. Connect the Micro USB Cable to your scanner and

computer to charge the battery.

If you charge the scanner’s battery only a little from

empty battery, you cannot use the scanner. Turn off

the scanner until the battery is charged fully.

My computer does not

recognize the scanner

when it is connected

via the Micro USB

Cable.

Causes may vary. Make sure the Micro USB Cable is securely con-

nected to your scanner and computer. Remove the

Micro USB Cable and reconnect the Micro USB

Cable to your scanner and computer.

My scanned images

have black lines run-

ning through them,

blank spaces, or are of

overall bad quality.

This problem occurs if the scanner is

not calibrated correctly or if a foreign

object, such as a paper clip or ripped

paper, is stuck in the scanner.

1. Check the document feeder slot and make sure

that the slot is clear. If foreign objects are found,

remove them from your scanner.

2. Calibrate your scanner (see Scanner Calibration

on page 58).

If scan quality is not improved after you calibrate

your scanner:

1. Clean the scanner (see Scanner Maintenance on

page 64).

2. Calibrate your scanner again.

My scanned image is

missing.

The Document Guides are not adjusted

to fit the width of the document.

Adjust the Document Guide to fit the width of the

For Macintosh: see Paper settings on page 39.

The scan speed is too

slow.

The resolution is not suitable for your

Troubleshooting

My scanner is con-

nected but it will not

feed my document or

do anything else.

Your document is not set correctly. Insert your document until you feel the top edge of

the document touch the inside of your scanner.

Your document is too thin or too thick. Check that your document is acceptable (see Doc-

ument Specifications on page 12).

If your document is not the problem:

1. Confirm that the Micro USB Cable connecting

your scanner to your computer is properly con-

nected.

2. Reinstall the scanner driver from the DVD-ROM.

The scanner’s top cover is open. Close the top cover and start scanning again.

The scanner is turned off because the

auto power off function is active.

Press the Power button to turn on the scanner.

SD card slot. (SD mode only)

Insert an SD card into the scanner’s SD card slot.

The document is

jammed.

Causes may vary. Open the scanner’s top cover and gently pull out

the document. Make sure that no piece of paper re-

mains in the scanner.

Your document is not acceptable for the

machine (for example, if the paper is

too long).

 Make sure your document is acceptable for the

machine (see Document Specifications on

page 12).

 Use the supplied Carrier Sheet (see Loading the

Carrier Sheet on page 16).

My scanner gets

warm.

It is normal for your scanner to emit a

small amount of heat after prolonged

use.

If there is a strange smell coming from the scanner

or the scanner feels a little bit hot to the touch, im-

mediately remove the Micro USB Cable from your

scanner and computer.

The scan quality is

poor.

Paper dust has accumulated inside

your scanner.

Clean your scanner (see Scanner Maintenance on

Troubleshooting

Network difficulties

Other difficulties

The file size is too

large.

The size of the file will depend upon

many factors. The physical size of the

document and the amount of text /

graphics on each page are factors that

will affect the resulting file size. These

factors cannot be changed.

To produce the smallest scan file for a given docu-

ment, use the lowest resolution and Black and

White mode, and scan the smallest area possible.

Using the opposite settings (scanned in the highest

resolution, in the Color mode, and scanning the

largest area possible) will produce the largest-sized

file.
